Default Re: Another aspect of the flat tax...

meaning ALL people payed the same rate on ALL income. That I am in favor of.
PPerky, what would you consider 'income'?

Yep.

The ‘Flat Tax’ advocates want to exclude unearned income. Surprise, surprise, that would largely benefit the wealthy.
VJW, how the heck is Rent received unearned? What's their rationale? Unearned income to my accounting brain means someone has paid me upfront, and I haven't done the work yet. If someone pre-paid rent, then maybe I can see that you would have to recognize that rent over the period...
