Also, what's interesting is that exit polling showed that Romney only had 18% of the support of people making under $50,000/yr in Iowa. Paul had 35% of such support. Pretty interesting stuff.

Eh, a lot of common people support the Flat tax, if anything because they assume a lot of rich people are cheating their way to paying less then they do anyway.  (Which actually isn't true.)

Really, what I think would be a REAL winner... would be a Progressive "stairs'.

That is, a progressive tax with no Deductions outside the 3-4 most popular.  Children, Charity, and two others.

Would still fit on a postage card minus captial gains. 


Just tie it to a tax rate drop so effective revenue stays the same, and most people would probably vote for it to avoid subdizing the 50 thousand things other people are doing.
