Like it has been said, a flat tax does nothing but hurt the poor even further while helping the rich even more. Not surprising this would be a republican idea supported by the uneducated drones.

what about a flat tax with a floor. Anyone earning less than X pay no tax at all.
Anyone with one child earning x+y paying no tax at all
Or what about the option of a flat tax or an itemized return?

Whether something is fair and whether something is difficult are two different things. Will it create a bigger tax burden on the poor? Of course it will. Is it fair that anyone and everyone receiving the benefits provided through the expenditure of tax revenue contribute to it? Also yes.
What I would like is to see a shred of intellectual integrity from one of you libs and stop claiming you want things to be fair. Saying the rich need to pay more, when they already provide the bulk of the tax revenue and another nearly half of U.S. households winds up with no income tax liability and you want it to stay that way, meets no definition of fair that currently exists.
So you were in favor of letting the Bush tax cuts expire I take it....for everyone. I have my doubts, but thats ok I'll chalk you up as one of those people who can't keep their arguments in line.
Are you claiming that somehow the rich are struggling right now or that they in someway don't have it better now than they have at any other time in our nations history? You're right, your definition of fair is not one that makes any sense to me.

They stole it fair and square.top rate of 70 percent on that portion of anyones income exceeding $5 million, from whatever source.
That is insane. Why should the government get 70% of anyone's income.
They don't like liberal horror. They stick with Reich and Krugman's fairy tales.Anyone linking to perennial socialist Robert Reich is automatically suspect and needs to read Milton Friedman instead.

Abolishing the income tax helps everyone.
The Republicans push for a flat tax masks whats really going on.
Remember: The top 1 percent is now raking in over 20 percent of the nations total income and owns over 35 percent of the nations wealth. Under almost anyones view of fairness, these are grotesque portions. Theyre especially large relative to what they were as recently as thirty years ago, when the top 1 percent raked in under 10 percent. And these huge portions at the top continue to increase.
Meanwhile, the top tax bracket is now 35 percent the lowest its been in three decades. Between the end of World War II and 1980 it never fell below 70 percent.
Simple fairness requires three things: More tax brackets at the top, higher rates in each bracket, and the treatment of all sources of income (capital gains included) exactly the same.
Not only fairness demands it, but also fiscal prudence. A truly progressive tax would bring in tens of billions of dollars a year from the people at the top who are in the best position to afford it.
Regressives are pushing the flat tax as a smokescreen. Theyd rather not have anyone talk about the unfairness and fiscal absurdity of the current system.
Rather than merely oppose the flat tax, sensible people should push for a truly progressive tax starting with a top rate of 70 percent on that portion of anyones income exceeding $5 million, from whatever source.
