Do you support a progressive or flat tax?
My own ideas deviate from both. I think that the income tax, in particular, should take a progressive curve only as it exceeds the minimum required to sustain frugal spending habits and a thriving economy. I don't court the "rob the rich and give to the poor" mentality, but I honestly think that it's ridiculous to expect our poorest citizens to pay for the government's incompetence when the wealthiest actually have the greatest amount of power, individually, in regard to who does or does not make it into elected office and, thus, take the greatest blame for the government's mistakes. What are everyone else's feelings on this?
