    A flat tax would be a set percentage of total income. It would cause the rich to pay more since they wouldn’t have their deductions and loopholes, that’s why there’s so much bullshit propaganda against it.

      The rich also have a hell of a lot more to tax. They SHOULD be paying a higher percentage of their wealth in taxes because they’ve gotten a much greater benefit out of the services those taxes pay for than a poor person.
