It's not really about the couple who made $45K annually have to pay or not pay the tax. Its about the fact that there is consensus that the guy sitting on $100K should have paid a little more tax some how. People are proposing that he would have the opportunity to sit on the $100K for a while and earn some returns on it, before paying his debt o society in the form of a consumption tax. I'm saying if we all agree that guy should have to pay society $5000 tax on that $100K, the society should take that right away, and not let the guy who has $100K sit on his money for a while.
