Here is always the trouble with all the "flat taxes" Republicans are always ready with a laundry list of people or types of people that it will not apply to.
First out of the chute is that of course it will not apply to "corporations" and they justify that with the age old tired mantra of "corporations do not pay taxes, they just pass them along" Well what does that mean? it means it you are rich and probably white and one of those worshiped "entrepreneurs" you go to something like legal zoom file an LLC and from that point forward anything and everything especailly anything halfway expensive gets bought and in theory "owned" by that LLC which of course has only one owner you so it/you can buy, the biggest flat screens for every room, a lexus for the wife, a beemer for the daughters sweet 16 a Tacoma for the son, a Duramax Z-71, a Vette and a Escalade for Dad, 4 jet ski's 3 boats from bass boat to Bayliner to Bertram and god knows what else and all not pay a dime of that flat tax while living off "capitol gains" which of course are also all tax free.
But that single mom busting her ass working 80 hours a week at 3 minimum wage jobs gets taxed on EVERYTHING.
Sure sounds fair to me.
