Aaaargh!
I didn't realize that it was a flat INCOME TAX (only)!
Duh! No wonder it gets "airtime"!
I have to admit to wondering about the percentages I've heard thrown around on this...
I could see no way that the numbers would come close to what we REALLY are paying now.
(Including employers taxes, taxes on goods, taxes in the cost of mfg, etc, I've heard
figures as high as 80+% of the average person's income ends up in the fed's pocket.)
Yea, if they do that with income tax only any "losses" would be made up elsewhere.
I sure feel stupid on this one...the flat tax never seemed viable to me so I never looked at it very closely... My bad!
