[Principled]

(he's a total dem) are both in favor of a flat tax.

What does it tell you that Dems would rather die than go to a national retail sales tax?

"...go to a national retail sales tax?"

No Principled, I don't like the idea of a federal sales tax. I think it would be very regressive and bad for business too.

Flat income tax, that's the way I'd go. Of course, I'd be willing to drop the Fed'l income tax altogether, and get back to whatever we did before we had one.

All income taxes should be flat, and if we need to shield the lowest paid workers, let the tax kick in only after a certain $ amount of income has been earned.
