How about this. EVERYONE is taxed at 20% of their income, regardless. No deductions. How is that not fair if everyone is treated equally?

Flat tax solves all of this class warfare BS.

Income tax is a marxist construct in modern times. Regardless of the initial rate busybodies are never satisfied and will take it all from you in the end. Instead...

How about this: Institute a national retail sales tax. No deductions or prebates etc... Repeal the XVIth Amendment. Institute the XXVIIIth Amendment prohibiting the imposition of any income tax or property tax what so ever. Everyone will know how much their government costs them every time they buy something. It will make them think twice about sending big spenders to DC.
