flat tax is working well in Russia...

i hope somebody writes about studies that have been done and WHY the new system would be better. If the Republicans can do that in common sense language it'll be a sure win for 'em.

Well, from what I've seen of Russia- the system may be "working" in terms of extracting 13% of everyone's income (except for the black market which seems to dominate everyday life)

What doesn't "work" in Russia is the give-back to its citizens in terms of goods and services. I've been all over the 3rd world and never saw a place as sad and depressing as Russian life in the boondocks. But the people are great- so much potential.
