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.
