        The beauty of a % is that it's a different number for everyone. Tax everyone at 10% and call it a day

        10% of 20,000 a year is a much larger % of what you need to live off of than 10% of $100,000

        Stupid. Why should anyone pay 40% of their earnings? That's theft not tax. Flat tax is fair to all.

        Regan won in a landslide bc the country was a financial mess. Tax and spend is no way to govern. Flat tax. Consumption tax. Less government!

        Why does anyone think the federal income tax needs to be more progressive, when the top 20% supposedly pay 84% of the federal income tax?
