I'm not sure we need a flat tax... but what i know we need for sure is a ratio tax.

A tax where if someones taxes rise.... EVERYONES taxes rise... so it's not so easy to solve everyones problems by taxing a small minority of people.

That's the real problem.

How much the rich should pay is always contigent on what else people want to get passed.

The US has one of the most progressive tax systems in the world already.  It's more progressive then the UK.

Additionally all income should be taxed the same.  Including money made from investments.  It's gained money afterall.
