Why we need a flat tax.

[TheRealMafoo]

Do you guys not know what a flat tax is?

To use your numbers Highwaystar, the bottom 20% of the country would only be paying 5.2% of the taxes.

And Montana, if you make 10 times more money, the government collects 10 times more money from you, because it took you 1/10th the effort to earn it.

If person A makes $10 and hour, and person B makes $1,000 an hour, and the tax rate was 25%, the government collects $2.5 an hour from person A, and $250 from person B. That's 15 minutes of each of there times.

And like "That Guy" said, we would need to streamline government, but if it becomes everyones responsibly equally (in effort, not money), then everyone would equally want to streamline it.

It's that saying. There are two kinds of money. My money, and your money. People treat them very differently, and for 40% of the voter base today, it's all your money.

With a flat tax, everyone will think of paying for programs from the perspective of "it's my money", and things will run vastly different imo.

Oh, and Akuma, please contribute or don't post. Trolling? I expected more from you.
