Can you prove it?

Neither the calculations or the conclusions are mine. You need to take it up with the Treasury Department and the Congressional Budget Office, as well as Professor Robert Hall and Professor Alvin Rabushka.

The Treasury Department has a vested interest in keeping the current system. If it was a Flat Tax, there wouldn't be a need for most of the people who work at the Treasury Department.

Because the wealthy spend a tiny fraction of their income on necessities, while having large amounts of discretionary income, whereas the Middle-class spends far more, PROPORTIONALLY, of it’s income on necessities, while a fraction of their income is discretionary. The Working Poor spend practically ALL their income on necessities and have almost no discretionary income.
[quote=VJW]

You are right about the amount of income spent on necessities by the classes. That does not mean the tax is proportional, the tax would still be a flat percentage.


I think this discussion is going no where between us, so until you can produce something more to talk about, besides our beliefs, I am done.
