The problem with a flat tax is that it doesn’t address the issue of everyone having a stake in the country. People receiving government aid in lieu of working still will be sponging without contributing. That’s why these kinds of taxes are called “fair”

Interesting take. I agree, it’s “fair” for those who are productive, but a flat tax won’t necessarily motivate able bodied moochers. It also favors those who are more productive, but no one is under obligation to help those are not able bodied. We should tweek what we have, no one that I know really ever asked for this 18-0-9 plan.
