Apparently all those math classes I took failed me, last I checked 20%of 30,000 and 20% of 300,000 or 3milion was the same PERCENTAGE. IE 20%.

Thats why it is a flat tax, everyone pays the same PERCENTAGE.

And since 20% of 30,000 is only 6,000, whereas 20% of 300,000 is 60,000 It doesn't look like the same amount to me. Guess I have a different opinion of PERCENT and SAME than you though.
