This analysis is deeply flawed. First, it assumes that the services for the "rich" is totally inelastic. That is, Harrison Ford can completely pass on his total income tax bill onto producers and, hence, the viewing public. Not so. History is filled with examples of stars who demanded too much and lost the part. Secondly, if the rich really don't pay "their fair share", why is it that 72% of all income tax revenues comes from the top 10% income earners? Personally, I'd lower taxes across the board to 17% and everyone pays that rate; no deductions. I don't care that you only make $10,000/year, you owe $1700 in taxes. If you don't have any earned income and pay no federal income taxes, that's fine, but you don't get to vote in federal elections. Same for state and local. After all, no skin in the game, why should you have a voice in how that income is spent? To me, if you can fog a mirror, you should be working. Exception: Those who have retired and paid their way for 40+ years.
I am also for a flat tax. But be careful with that denying the vote idea.........
The poor should pay no income tax argument sends me up the wall. When I made about $700 in the year ending in 1963, I paid tax, I have a copy of the return that says I did. I could not claim the personal exemption as my folks claimed me as an exemption and the beginning tax rate began at 14% beginning at ZERO through $1000.
