What you have said, for me, reinforces the need for the flat tax. Clearly, gov. is TOO big. It would be traumatic to switch, but I don’t think our nation is going to be avoiding trauma anyway, so might as well do it right.
Flat tax cures a lot of ills. It also gets the gov. out of social issues. No marriage tax benefits...no need to define marriage. Nice...like that! Leave the defining of things to the states so people can get back to voting with their feet!
See my post here for my reply.
I agree on the issue of marriage as well.
