            Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                  For the last time, the flat tax benefits the rich and hurts the poor.

                        I am not exactly rich by any means. In fact, I'd be classified as lower middle class at best. However, you worked for it/earned it, you deserve it. Yes, there are exceptions (trust fund babies, etc), and I say *shrug*.

                          Sweet, you realize that a flat tax means cops, fire fighters, department of transportation and pretty much every other public works you care about will be underfunded right? You think the plowing sucks now, just think what will happen when you cut their funding! Why pay cops better, I am sure there will zero ramifications of that at ALL.

                          Flat taxes are a great theory but man the unintended consequences of them would be devastating.

                            This doesn't automatically have to be the case. Why can't you set the flat tax rate to collect whatever amount of revenue you like?

                            Just depends whose taxes go up and whose go down. I'm guessing there are a whole lot of really rich people who are able to take advantage of tax loopholes to pay obscenely low rates. As long as those loopholes close (I know, I know - stop laughing!), I would think a lot of rich people would pay more.
                            If you don't change the world today, how can it be any better tomorrow?

                              I would love to believe they would set the tax where it needs to be but we both know there is zero chance that happens. The powers that be would never allow the rate to be the right amount.
