It's a quote from the highly revered Capitalist theorist Adam Smith, who many conservatives consider to be a founder of their ideology.

He is supporting a form of progressive taxation as a means to sustain the capitalist system, saying it both makes sense and is morally acceptable.

Today's Republican Party would call Adam Smith a radical left-wing socialist. It makes me laugh.

LOL "Highly revered"? By whom? Smith died in 1790.

FYI: We Americans already have a progressive tax.

What you miss is that Adam Smith meant this to be voluntary....not coerced which is what progressivie taxation is.
