I am actually in favor of this system. In my opinion fairness equals sameness. Each citizen has the same rights so why not the same tax rate. Doing this will also create a smaller government by default. No longer can they raise the rates for middle and upper class citizens in the name of fairness and tax equality. The government will have to lessen the tax burden across the board.

 

The other piece is the tax code in general. If you have an uber-convoluted system, it is easy for the elitists of society to escape their responiblity. It's hard for a upper class citizen to escape sales tax when you are buying a big screen TV at Best Buy.

 

My only problem is the tax rate in general. In order to maintain the government the rate has to be in the low to mid 20's. I would like to see it reduced to the mid to low teens.
