I think taxes should be based on a 5-year rolling average, to ease the burden for people who have high income only once in their life. Winning the lottery or patenting an invention that makes you rich is the American dream. Let’s tax high earners but show some lenience for folks who have a once in a lifetime windfall.

    It’s only a different argument because you want it to be. You’re selectively choosing which percentages you want in the argument, and which ones not. I’m not that versed in the different logical fallacies, but I guess this is a straw man fallacy? Atleast, that’s one of the strategies I get for this fallacy; oversimplifying an argument, and then attacking this argument.
