cougarmeister How does this work?
Yeah, that's the usual argument against a flat/consumption tax (hurts the poor)
And it's probably valid, but again, I'm really curious what the overall benefit would be from elimination of other taxes, increased efficiency of the tax system as a whole, etc. Would it end up as a net-positive for poorer classes? I don't know, but it would be interesting to see a study of potential benefits & costs.

And the Democrats want lower-income people to pay no taxes AND for wealthy people to pay much more taxes, but it's unlikely that they can have both of those.
