i agree that progressive tax is unfair, but let's face the facts. the govt just wont run on a flat tax.
I disagree that it won't work as it is already a proven device in some states. 6 states have a flat tax rate and while 4 have modifiers to adjust income, 2 states have a simple flat rate tax structure. The biggest reason to discredit a flat tax rate on a national level seems to be the large volume of employees the IRS has. What would they do for a living if we had a flat tax?
