- msla 5y agoFlat tax is regressive: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/flattax.asp https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/flattax.asp > While a flat tax imposes the same tax percentage on all individuals regardless of income, many see it as a regressive tax. A regressive tax is one in which the government taxes high-income earners at a lower percentage of their income and low-wage earners at a higher percentage of their income. > The tax is seen as regressive due to a more significant portion of the total funds available to the low-income earner going to the tax expenditure. While the upper-income payer still pays the same percentage, they have enough income to offset this tax load. Cutting spending never seems to involve military or police or coal subsidies... "Welfare" doesn't exist anymore: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/most-welfare-dollars-dont-go-directly-to-poor-people-anymore/ https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/most-welfare-dollars-do... Fire anyone in government who overspends? OK, how do you define overspending?
