That’s right. 10%, no deductions, leave me alone. I’d still come out ahead even if I can’t write off my mortgage interest and charitable deductions anymore.

Why do you think capital gains are only available to white collar workers? As a blue collar guy let me say that at the end of the month there isn't usually a lot left over for capital investments. But I'm glad to hear the working Joe is doing so well in your area.

The flat tax ideas are good ideas, BTW. But special interest lobbyists will mess flat tax efforts up.

My company has 7% PhD, 37% Masters, 56% Bachelors degrees. Disciplines are distributed as 48% sciences, 19% engineering, 20% business/law, 13% humanities. The last category looks goofy...until you consider the linguistics people involved in gathering intelligence. Those figures are for 2003. 90% of the employees work on direct charge contracts. The other 10% provide the necessary administrative umbrella to handle contracts, payroll, legal, real estate and other essential support services.

Harold Ford is absolutely right about the need for a middle class flat tax. It is one of those creative thoughts that makes too sense for the politicians to borrow. Like a lot of great ideas, we don’t hear any of the Presidential candidates talking about a middle class flat tax but it sounds like a winning issue to me.
