Disparity of wealth is at all time highs, and income taxes at all time lows

How can anyone want to increase this disparity is beyond my comprehension, if they claim to be for fair taxation



Agreed. Trickle down ain't working and certainly hasn't in the GWB-Obama era. The initial thrust in the early to mid 80's might have been needed medicine giving a shot to the economy for those times. But that was a one time injection not something to continue to overdose on. We are in a totally different place these days. Flat tax to me is code for robber barons in a globalized world fleecing the rest of us and having less incentive to invest in and empower the struggling working class of this country. When you can get some regular folks in the GOP to realize the real enemy is the Plutocrat class and not poor browns then we take back the country
