A flat tax with no deductions will destroy the housing market, therefore, the economy. Most middle Americans homeowners are counting on mortgage interest, and property taxes to reduce their taxes.
The rich don't get anything more for their taxes. You are going to put more money in their pockets. The top 1% can't spend what they have now. What about corporations? Are you going to tax them based upon sales rather than income? A flat tax is a road to nowhere. Simple solutions to complex problems never works.
To change the subject a little, the rich don't get anything for their taxes, but they do get something for the political donations. Would you be in favor of government funded elections? The candidates could not raise money on their own. All political action groups including 501(4)c charitable political action groups would be eliminated.

Ahh, I see. So, you are for taking from that have to give to those that don't have. Quite generous with other folks money,huh? And according to you, the rich can't spend all that money they have so you feel it is up to the gov to decide how it is shared. Very generous of you.
Simple solutions don't work? Where did you get that idea? You must have heard it somewhere. There is no scientific facts to back your claim. How about some historic facts? You make a lot of statements like they are fact, when they are nothing more than amateur suppositions.
Please explain how "You are going to put more money in their pockets" because I keep hearing how you liberals seem to think that if the gov allows you to keep some of your money, that you earned, that it is considered a gift from the gov to the wealthy. I really do find it interesting when you say that if the gov doesn't steal you money, it is really giving you money.
So, what we come back to is discrimination. One group being treated/punished in a different manner than another group. Of course, being the party of slavery, I can see why discrimination is considered normal treatment.
