There are lots of economic "stimulus" proposals, "make-work" projects, "subsidy" and "handout" ideas being floated to alleviate pain and avoid economic difficulties.

Why have Americans abandoned the fairness of applying equal tax rates on everybody, with those earning more paying more, but at the same tax rate as others who earn less? Unequal "soak the rich" taxing is not only unfair but discourages better economic results for us all.
