Let us be plain: What is being proposed is not tax reform. It is not aimed at fairness, economic stability or the public good. It is a redistribution of wealth — upward, deliberate and vast, from the poorest of the poor to the richest of the rich. And more than just poor policy, it is a profound moral failure. These proposals violate the very heart of Catholic social teaching.
