A flat tax is an absurdity. Why not a poll tax or head tax? After all isn't it unjust to have Bill Gates pay 10% of his income and some slob of a worker 10% as well? Shouldn't they really both pay the same dollar amount? After all they're both equal, right?
Do you know what happend when the Thatcher government imposed a poll tax on us to replace the old local government rates system?
There riots on the streets of London. Big, big riots.
Oh yes, I remember. I'm sure you realize I was being sarcastic in suggesting such a tax...
