I know exactly what a flat tax is. Its been talked about as along as I can remember. I still believe in parity. Pay what you can afford. The wealthy or super wealthy used to pay nearly 90%. Now they pay nearly nothing. always loop holes. Its a part of citizenship to pay taxes, but not for legislatures to piss away. The tax argument will never end. Maybe we should just say every man for himself, starting now with no level playing field. I'm on disability. I had a business and paid all the taxes including soc sec matches, unemployment and never bitched about it. I'm not greedy. But right now what I'm surviving on, no one should be placed in that position. Especially because they had marijuana offenses and are discriminated against. I take you you don't have any marijuana felony. And, I'm 61. I used to have a construction company. Its not just one easy solution. As a matter of fact, my family was once well to do, but several depressions and other things seemed to winnow it down. We've been in the US for nearly 300 years and are in every state. :jointsmile: No bragging, just saying. And, they associated with the Founders. Don't believe it, I don't care. :thumbsup:

Hypothetically, If I made a million bucks a years, I'd have no problem giving up 50%. but that's just me.
