Do you not understand the concept of a flat tax?
Say the government tax is 20%. The gent with an income of $20,000 pays $4,000 and the guy with an income of $100,000 pays $20,000.

Yes, I understand the concept of a flat tax; however, with a smaller, more efficient, more limited government there is no reason we should have to tax the lower class at the same rate as the higher rate. What is it that you don't understand about people not being able to live on $20,000 a year, let alone $20,000 - $4,000?

Wages are lower than they have been in years at the lower end of the scale. That's not just a dem talking point - it's the truth.
