And in fact,...Income tax is another way to enslave. And in fact, there are meforshim that say one of the ways Pharaoh used to enslave the Jews was to impose a "labor" tax (what we would today call an income tax). Further, a tax rate above 10% (after all, this is all Hashem demands of us) is not just slavery, but absolute tyranny. I only wish Moshe Feiglin touched on this more. The top marginal rate in Israel way above 50% (you have add Bituach Leumi and Ma'as Briut as well). It's insane. And not so different from our experience in Mitzraim, actually, right here in our home.Shimshonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04158609487960587917noreply@blogger.com
