103. the rich won't save money from a flat -tax.
Where does all the money that the rich will save on a flat tax going to come from?

how are they going to save all that money if deductions and loopholes are taken out of the mix? do you honestly believe that the rich currently pay the rates the tax tables say that they should?

a loop-holess flat-tax with a fairly high basic-exemption/starting point is NOT regressive- you've just been conditioned to respond to any "flat-tax" proposal as "regressive".

i guess the nattering nabob label fits.
