After 35 years of GOP give away to the rich, we already have a flat tax system if you count all taxes.
If that's true, why do the rich pay such a disproportionately large share of all federal income taxes, not to mention state and local taxes?
The rich pay at least 37% of all federal income taxes, yet their share of the national adjusted gross income (AGI) is only 20%. If the GOP has been "giving away" tax money to the rich, it's odd that rich are paying a larger and larger share of all income taxes and that the share they pay is much more than their share of the national AGI.
