Regressive and progressive are subjective terms
So is 'overburden'. Yet you were happy to use the term. You can't claim subjectivity in termenology invalidates an argument while using subjective terms.
You refute your own argument if you do it that way.
So who says that a low flat tax will not 'overburden anyone'?
They wouldn't even miss it.
Says who?
A massive shift of the tax burden from the wealthy to the middle class and poor....and the poor and middle class wouldn't even miss it?
You may have a harder time convincing the poor and middle class of this.
Yeah people who pay nothing usually don't want to pay anything.
And it's not a shift of the tax burden it's people paying what they should pay.
With the wealthy advocating a system where they 'should' pay far, far less than they do now. And the middle class and poor should pay more.
There doesn't seem to be any disagreement on this point. Merely an attempt to justify the shift in tax burden from the wealthy to the middle class and poor.
You mean people who have been paying nothing will have to pay more?
So what it's about time
And you have yet to answer the very simple question:
Why should the tax on income be different from every other tax?
