This really is a first in world history. A government is actively and relentlessly working against the best interests of its citizenry, and a significant portion of that citizenry is complicit. Why? Because the burden is not shared equally.
And THAT is precisely why the progressive income tax needs to go. I don't even want a flat tax. There should be a FLAT FEE. Take the government's expenditures, divide by the number of citizens 18 and older, and there's everyone's tax bill for the year. You want to see spending get cut dramatically overnight? That's how you do it.
Get rid of the welfare state, and make each American pay an equal portion of the burden. That's how you solve this issue. In other words, end the fed and repeal the 16th amendment. Everything else falls into place.
