I believe it would actually increase Forbe's tax rate. Otherwise, soft money and other campaign donations would have put that postcard in your mailbox by now with a Microsoft hologram on top.

(tax plans aren't flat if it has a deductible. That makes them simple.)

Progressivity. Under the flat tax, the more you earn, the more you pay. In fact, because of the high family exemption, the more a taxpayer earns, the greater the share of his income he pays in tax. As the chart shows, a family of four earning $25,000 would owe no tax under the proposal. A family of four earning $50,000 would pay only six percent of its income in income taxes while a family earning $200,000 would pay 14 percent.
