Interesting point about Y2K and the IRS ushering in the flat tax.

Imo, the progressive income tax is fundamentally Marxian ("..from each according to his abilities; to each according to his need") and incompatible with the spirit of the "equal protection under the law" principle of the 14th Amendment.

I actually favor a VAT provided we can repeal the 16th Amendment.

Ciao,

Daniel
