I am not a fiscal Puritan in that I despise all taxes. I'm willing to

health doing it and I want to keep it. For that, I'm willing to pay,
right off the top - no excuses, 15% of what I make every year even
though I'm retired.

Sorry, but the way things are run nowadays 15% from everybody would result
in either disastrous deficits or huge cuts in gov't spending... probably
both.

Personally, I object to the flat tax on moral grounds. It is a de facto
penalty on the poor,

How so?

and trivializes tax expense to the super-rich.... who BTW gain the most
from gov't services, so shouldn't they pay more?


The super rich gain the most from gov't services? How so?
