this should help people understand a little better

Not really... I mean none of that explains why national healthcare couldn't be paid under a flat tax.  Just gives arguements to why people would perfer a flat tax.

 

Which all basically get trumped by the first reason against it in my mind..

"It has been argued that progressive taxation violates the principle of equality under the law.[21]"

Progressive taxation (to a point) makes sense economically... but it's a violation of equality. 

I believe everyone should be treated equally.  Even those more successful to me.
