Agree with Civita's Fasting about zero tax payers

Jarle Møen: The term zero tax payer should be out of the debate.

Dividing the population into those who pay "zero" and those who pay "more than zero" takes the spotlight away from an important and uncontroversial premise in tax policy. The tax should be distributed according to the taxpayer's ability to bear it, Jarle Møen writes.
