I am trying to understand this.
If I decide to work 80 hours instead of just 40 a week, I will be taxed twice as much as the lazy guy?
Aren't you already?
But I digress, you will actually pay more than twice as much, Flat Taxes, as they are actually proposed in real legislation, ain't really flat, quite the contrary:

The only flat tax would be to make everone pay so many dollars a year. Even the rich people.
We are all citizens, so why sould people that work harder than I do, pay more?
Are they just lucky?
