Flat Tax or Flat Tire
I think that a flat tax would be best that way the poor are
giving less and the rich are giving more. The website says that with a flat tax
people would not get tax advantaged instead they would have to pay the normal
rate everyone else would have to pay. So this would get rid of people cheating
on taxes, the smart and the rich finding loopholes so they would not have to
pay as much, even though money is not a problem for them. Most argue that this
would be worse for the poor because of how much more they would be paying with
a flat tax then the progressive tax right now. The poor are most that work
minimum wage jobs because they have chosen not to continue their education and
make more money. Even without an education you can get jobs now that pay more
than minimum wage that you can easily live off of. There are many of rich
people that have been born into money and a flat tax would make them pay their
share that they did not make. Then there are the rich and the middle class
business owners that would be paying their share of the earning they have made
from there successful careers. Yet it is still a lot more that what a poor
person would be paying. Going to college gets you a degree in what you need and
also colleges help you find jobs. You have good odds of getting a job right out
of college that is high paying and you would never have to worry about not
making enough to support yourself or a family after paying taxes. That is why I
think a flat tax would be best over the fair tax and the current progressive
tax.
