[QUOTE="mthbstr8, post: 416880, member: 16849"] JustTired, a flat tax, and also a sales tax too for that matter, are alternate ways to tax the poor. We have a (supposidly) have a progressive tax system which was designed by some smart economist somewhere so that "those who can afford to carry the burden of society may do so". Sales tax is another form of flat tax. Look at it this way, if I have $100, and I earn minimal wage, that hundred bucks is the difference between me and dinner!! Its a large part of my annual income. A flat tax or a steep sales tax would mean I have to go hungry, or to jail, instead. Have you ever had just a couple bucks, and when the lady rings up tacos you have to scrounge for pennies? That's me before refinancing the house a few years back. Still, we talk about alot of stuff, and that's good. Yet the underlying root cause of America's problems go undiscussed. [/QUOTE]
