With our current system i'd rather have a progressive tax that provided universal healthcare then a flat tax that provided no healthcare.

How does that work? I mean, in action, what would that look like?

The healthcare?  I'd model it off the VA system.  It's ranks one of the best and one of the cheapest in the country.

(seriously how do you change number of posts per page.)

 

Nope, that's not what I'm asking. It seemed to me you said you would have one and "then" the other.

No, i'd rather have the first then the second.

However I do think you could accomplish universal healthcare along with a lot of basic needs taken care of the government with a flat tax.  If you cut down most of the spending the government does that it's not supposed to in the first place.

He's messing with you. You should be saying "than", not "then".

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

I saw this image on another forum and thought some might be interested. It seems the "red states" benefit the most from "spreading the wealth around":

Right click and "view image" if you can't see all of it.
