[quote name="godamit"][quote name="Lizard_King"]Would your ideal simply take a disproportionate amount from the wealthy to compensate for the poor?[/quote] Why is this bad? Can someone explain it to me? Everyone I know who says this then starts going on about how a low flat tax is so much more fair, never mind that poor->lowermiddleclass people would still get a huge standard deduction of some kind to allow them to pay for minimal living costs, at which point it's not a flat tax anymore and so, why is paying disproportionate amounts of money bad again?
