    what a "radical" concept. Treat everyone equally...
    If we were as industrious to become good as to make ourselves great, we should become really great by being good, and the number of valuable men would be much increased; but it is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness; and i pronounce it as certain that there was never yet a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous." - Ben Franklin

    All we need then is for fate to treat everyone equally.

    What does fate have to do with paying taxes? Seems you'd be happy with this flat tax..after all, it soaks the evil rich.

    Will this "flat tax" be in lieu of the state tax? Or, like the "value added" tax recently proposed my our Dear Leader, will it be on top of the state tax?

    There in lies the rub. Flat tax is great if its an alternative. If its in addition too, then whats the point.
