I wasn't questioning the fairness, I was asking stevo if closing the loopholes and putting in a flat tax might bring in as much or more from those most able to pay are paying now. The tax code is so complicated that I believe many people who can afford tax attorneys and accountants will instead pay that money in taxes with a flat rate and no loopholes.
