    Is this the opposite of the fat tax? We gonna tax anorexics and bolemics too?

    Yea, I know I'm hurting.

    I got some laughs yesterday.

    I ordered an adult soda from a restaurant and wondered if it came in a see-through glass.

    could someone make it perfectly clear to me what is wrong with a flat tax? not only is it simple, it's entirely fair. are any of the candidates proposing or supporting this system? i can't remember any of them discussing it specifically.

    it takes all the loopholes away for the rich so they would have to be their fair share.

    Of course the currently pay a lot, but percentage wise it doesn't work out as fair.

    Of course what to tax would be a huge fight, income, small business vs big business, investment, etc....
