Best Answer

A tax on the labor and creativitiy of an individual is a regressive tax. It is a dis-incentive to economic progress and is used by governments and powerful persons to accumulate wealth. Please see: How has the Income Tax contributed to the economic crisis of 2008?

Also, many people also resent the government taking money from them.
