Flat tax is fair..those who have more do pay more. Last time I checked 10% of a 1,000,000 is 100,000 and 100,000 is 5 times what I make. So called "progressive" tax rates are just government cronies stealing from the people, punishing anyone who becomes successfull.

It's out rageous, should the team that finishes last in the conference be allowed a trip to the playoffs? of course not, if you want to get "richer" then work harder. The team that becomes champion works it's ass off, a team that just sits on it's ass, gets it's ass kicked.

Gonative; You do realize that the "progressive" tax was invented by the Ultra rich back in the early 1900's? It was designed to prevent anybody getting too rich, it's why they have these "anti trust things against who ever gets "mega" rich these days.( Microsoft/Walmart) Guess who is exempt from taxes? Those same ultra rich as back then..they have thier allready made money in tax free trustfunds. The whole system is built on the idea that the ultra rich elites get to stay in thier little clubhouse and NO ONE from the masses is ALLOWED to join them.

That's not what America is about, it's about anybody who is willing to work hard, dream adapt, improvise, and overcome can rise to the top and join that clubhouse.
