For everyone's sake, I hope you're correct. A quick scan of the article's comment section is enough to seriously curb one's optimism, though. I don't know what the demographic makeup of participants in WSJ's co

You can't be serious. We're discussing a class of people making sub-minimum wages, barely scraping by to afford rent and groceries (much less any childcare or medical expenses), and your suggestion is "lobby to change that&qu

Nobody cares that a large number of billionaires and world leaders, individuals with the power to steer the course of society as a whole, are implicated in one of the largest (and darkest) scandals in history? Speak for yourself.

This is completely incorrect. A flat tax has a constant tax rate , which is why it's often referred to as a "proportional tax." Under a true flat tax system, everyone pays the same percentage of their income. A toll is abs
