Why not? if 25% of the pop can pay $5/pk for their sins, why not 100% of the pop for equal harm? Sounds pretty flat to me.

Then you don't understand the flat tax....

I guess...to reiterate...that's a consumption tax...not a flat tax.

Paula, you just made me go through an elementary explanation of wage/price demand, and the theory of taxation, and now you're lecturing on the merits of the fair tax?

Just kill me now.
