I came into that argument because I've studied a flat tax and fair tax plans (I'm a fucking accountant) and am very aware of the provisions.
Just recently? A few months ago you had no clue how the Fair Tax worked. Didn't even understand the prebate. Bottom line, I wasn't talking to you and I don't really care if you don't like me suggesting the guy do his own research. lol at you being an accountant meaning that you're well versed in a tax plan that was never enacted. Too funny. Have good one.
Why is that no one ever seems to offer the idea of a progressive flat tax. In other words, we keep the progressive tax structure, adjust for the end of earned income tax credits, child tax credits, corporate welfare, and close all loopholes.
I think this is how tax reform can be sold to both sides. Keep the progressive tax system, but reform it with a flat tax structure. It is the kind of compromise both parties would have made 50 years ago.
Flat tax and progressive are mutually exclusive, aren't they? Do you mean a version of the Fair Tax but adding other provisions to add more burden to high end earners?
