I think economists generally agree that a flat per-head tax is regressive and bad policy. If you're going to tax workers, why not a progressive income tax?

- maym86 8y agoThis is a tax on the company. This is not a direct tax on workers. A flat tax on people I agree is bad policy. This is not that. It isn't even a flat tax on companies as requires the company to have a large minimum amount of revenue. Increased tax on large profitable companies in another form would also be fine.
