High earners like the flat tax too because it means they pay the same percent as the low earners. I like it because you like it. -g- BTW, Enron didn't pay income tax in those years because it had no income because it had too many employees to earn a profit. The employees and Enron payroll dept paid a collective 40% in taxes. So Enron contributed over 25% of its sales to the government in the form of payroll taxes, so Enron generated a lot more government money than all the waitresses in America that year.
