OT: I feel as though a flat tax is unfeasible in the USA. The reason is because the USA' distribution of wealth is so uneven as can be seen here. The bottom 20% of citizens in the USA only control 5.2% of the money, the next 20% only control 10.5% and the third 20% only control 15.6%. That's 31.3% wealth for 60% of the population. These people don't earn much money (obviously), The average wage in te USA is only $36,764 and they earn below this amount, but we will take this number as a given. Nw someone as rich as yourself (and that's a good thing) may feel as though these people should pay as much as you, but if you have a flat tax this would cripple their lives. According to the IRS the tax rate for this size household is 15%. Now because these people own suc an insignificant amount of wealth this means nothing to the IRS and if they implemented a fair tax system you taxes would only decrease by a few percent whilst theirs skyrocket to maybe 35% (due to the wealth they control being so insignificant) which would cause them to starve.
You may think progressive taxation is unfair, but because the distribution of wealth is so uneven is the flaw with the flat tax system. It may save you a few bucks, but 60% of the USa would need to seriously cut back, perhaps to the point of starvation.
I could do the maths but I haven't had my morning coffee yet lol.
