I think #8 is why people like you like it so much and people like me don't.

"Lower and Middle Income pay more." I suppose you dislike a flat tax for the same reason. Yeah, the liberals and socialists love the idea of soaking the 'rich' so that the 'little people' can get their fair share. After all, the 'rich' people are the ones who profit from our greedy capitalist system so, they should be soaked, right?

Well, here's something for you to ponder. Whether we switch to the NRST or the flat tax, I suspect I'd actually end up paying more than the ~7% income tax I pay today.

So, no, it's not that I stand to gain a lot from either of them. It's just that I believe the system we have now is morally wrong.
