What's anti-government about a flat tax proposal?

It's a great idea.

We oughta do it in the states.

Problem in the states, and probably Canada too, is that for it to work, all income must be recognized as income.

It is ludicrous to pretend that wages are income that is somehow different from, and taxed differently than, capital gains, dividends, interest, inheritance, ad nauseum.

Call all income, income, and establish a single rate to cover all of it.

A common rate applied to the first dollar of income up..

No loopholes no exclusions.

Bet that base would support a single digit income tax rate.

> Do you know anything about the Fraser Institute? They are anti-government

Sounds likes a lot of goldbugs I know <g>
I'd describe them as a libertarian think tank,
like a Canadian Cato Institute.
They have an agenda, we all do.

I thought their mining survey was good research,
something that might be useful in doing due diligence.
Sorry I brought it up.
