A flat tax isn't fair unless every other form of expense was flat as well. Which means rent would have to be some percent of your income and the same for power, healthcare and so forth.
- gnarbarian 7y agoYou aren't actually responding to my argument. I'm arguing for a more effective and efficient tax system which would ultimately result in outcomes you ostensibly support. I'm done here it's new year in an hour and I'm not going to spend it arguing. ;)
