I have to admit it SOUNDS like a good idea, it just ISN'T. Well, unless you
do it like they are in Europe where you have truly flat rates from 10%
(Bulgaria) and up. The catch is that it must be a flat individual and
corporate tax and it must not exempt tax on monies "earned" almost
exclusively by only those folks and entities in the highest tax brackets.
Thus far, the American "Flat" Tax proposals have been anything but that.

Predominately, they have been right-wing Republican attempts to hoodwink the
middle class into thinking that they will no longer be carrying the country
on their backs. Rather than trying to fix a problem it has been merely and
unfortunately a ruse to continue the status quo.

forward by republicans. it slashes taxes on the upper 1% whle sticking
the middle clas with most taxes
