I guess I see such things as the flat tax or sales tax reducing the 90% paid. And shifting the burden downward in the income scale. Especially when you factor in the other forms of taxes I noted in a previous post. Some of which are now deductible, and would not be under a flat/sales tax system. The ultimate answer is not a one size fit all tax code change itself, it is controlled government spending which would allow an across the board tax reduction for everyone. imo

So? If taxes will be reduced for high income payer and also for low income payers, How will it be accomplished? Assuming no reduced Government spending? It can't be accomplished without reduced spending. It can be accomplished without actual reductions. Certainly without reductions in nominal dollars, and if your patient enough without reductions in real dollars. You just have to hold spending steady and watch the fiscal balance improve. Of course holding spending steady isn't something politicians usually like to do.
