How can a flat tax not be enough? That doesn't make sense.Many people used to become rich by going to cheap private schools, paying toll on private roads and generally paying solely for what they needed. Why do you feel thats no longer the case. Yeah, you say we could just replace the rich, why can't we just replace the middle class? That's just simplistic nonsense. And what do you think the criteria for those who replace the rich should be? I'd say it should be those that work hard in smart ways. And you'd like to punish those people with increased tax? If you say families like the Waltons take advantage of the low minimum wage and tying money up in assets, target those loopholes and make the loopholes illegal, don't punish an entire class of people because not everyone of them is a Mr. Burns like villian. If many people from the middle class or working class were finding loopholes to pay less tax and the government responded by increasing tax for everyone in that bracket there would be outrage as some would be innocent and it's not right to punish them. Why not apply this same logic to the upper class?
