2. Tax codes fail to recognize that some dollars are more valuable than others.

The dollar that an electrician earns, the dollar that a firefighter earns or a nurse earns has much greater value to society than a hundred dollars earned by trading stocks or by speculating on real estate.

The most valuable dollars should be taxed the least.

The least valuable dollars should be taxed the most.

It's backwards right now.
