Except for those with no income and all assets..a lot of assets or a lot of unrealized capital gains.

Forbes has been on this flat tax thing longer then anyone I know. He says with GENEROUS allowances (family of four would pay NO TAX up to 46,000 of annual income) we could get by with 17%!! My personal preference is a VAT tax cause I would like to capture the underground economy in tax revenue, but I would prefer the flat tax similar to Forbes comments over what we have today. jdn
