Conservatives are always pushing for a "flat tax." It sounds so simple: One easy rate, so we all pay the same, easy to calculate... Get rid of deductions and lower the tax rates. But is it really fair?

That one dollar you are taking away from the poor man might mean his next meal. 10% is a sizable chunk of change to a poor person whereas with Bill Gates he could lose a million in his couch and not miss a thingIts fair imo. 10-15% (to be debated) no loopholes, no deductions, no breaks.
Poor man earns $10 he pays $1 to the govt in tax.
Rich man earns $10,000,000 he pays $1,000,000 to the govt in tax.
Clean cut simple, same would apply to corporations and business etc.
It may sound fair, but it's not ethical. The saving grace for most place where it exists is that there is a cutoff line for poverty, and those below the line pay nothing.Conservatives are always pushing for a "flat tax."

Rich man makes 10mill pays 1mill he’s left with 9mil
Poor man makes $10 pays $1 he’s left with $9
You be the judge....
I bet you read lots of Ayn RandPoor man can work to get where the rich man is at!
Why punish the rich?
Dont bring down the ritch to alavate the poor, you bring the poor up to the ritch.
I bet you read lots of Ayn Rand
No, i read none of ayn rand.

Or it could be a sign of an effed social and economic political system that oppresses poor peopleThe poor man needs to work harder then. Cause if your life depends on just $1 it's a clear sign you effed up somewhere in life.

Its absolutely fair. Dont listen to those others who are trying to brainwash your innocent mind into believing the burden will fall on the poor. Thats a lie. If everyone pays the same percent, well, then eceryone pays the same burden.
Since its by %, the ritch still pay more in actual dollars.
Why is it not fair?
They all love to say that.
