Supporting a level playing field is not a sign of being a "wingnut."
Giving the rich tax avoidance legislation or a "progressive" taxation
in which the least productive become trapped on welfare.

Poor Ray. It apparently doesn't penetrate through to his tiny brain
that in paying the same percentage they WOULD BE paying more. In
point of fact, they would be paying precisely in scale with the 'more'
that they would get, even though they would receive it from their own
efforts rather than as some benefit they pay the State to 'provide'.

Taxes based on income should be flat. They distort the economy the
least that way and allow it to function closer to its optimum levels.

That, of course, is a religious statement, devoid of proof and
unprovable.

No, Peter, that is a basic fact, as you would know if you knew
anything at all about Economics.

Another religious statement, followed by a flat lie. If you have
a proof, show it.
