Its alot more than 2%.... But even if it was a 2% differance its still not fair! Why should americans be punished for being successful and making money? That's what happens, the more you make the more the govermetn takes from you. Its BS

Without a progressive tax system I don't think there would be a middle class...

I'm breaking my New Year's resolution and getting involved in a political/religious discussion.

You want to solve "class warfare"when it comes to income tax? Institute a flat tax rate.

10% of nothing is nothing.10% of a 1 million is a 1 hundredthousand.Everybody is on a level playing field and no one can point fingers.

Regardless of what you feel and/or believe if you argue against a flat tax rate you have an agenda.

Works for me. I've always like the idea of a flat tax. No matter how much or little you make you are taxed the same. Its fair and you dont get penalized for being succesful. Plus is will force the government to spend our money wisely. And yes that includes W

The reason so many people like the fixed tax rate is because they are all on the bottom of the toetem pole. If you all were making that 150-200 thousand per year,you'll like it just the way it is. I'm retired with a fixed income, and pay just like the rest.
