“I still think a flat tax is a better solution”
The problem with a flat tax is that it is typically applied to income of people that work for a living. Those living off interest or capital gains or donations or family wealth do not pay any taxes at all. Yet they get all the benefits of a working person. I don’t think that is fare or good economics. We need to make sure that everybody pays.
Which version of the flat tax exempts interest and capital gains?
