Those who receive great rewards from our society and system of capitalism owe great responsibility to ensure it's survival. Nah, what you just said could beinterpreted to read that those who can earn are responsible to carry those who don't or won't earn. That ain't the way to go.

What am I? Flypaper for freaks? >>Those who receive great rewards from our society and system of capitalism owe great responsibility to ensure it's survival. Agreed. Flat tax achieves that. Earn $100,000, pay $10,000 back into the system. Earn $1 million, pay $100,000 back into the system. Earn $10 million, pay $1 million back into the system. Proportional, and fair.

Our survival depends on progressive taxes???...There will be a time in the not so distant future that our independence and progress will depend on our ability to wean ourselves from the governmental teat...Sure the central government has uses and responsibilities to the population....but for it to grow and expand unchecked will eventually be the downfall of this country.
