	I'm fine with a progressive tax system. But you shouldn't get to vote if you aren't paying taxes, or at the very least it should be proportional. It is inherently unfair for those receiving the boon of another's work via wealth transfer to have more say than the producers. Unfortunately we have reached that tipping point. -----signature----- Rathgryn: "I HOPE he isn't interested in bipartisanship.

It appears to be but has so many legal loopholes it ends up being regressive.

	The income tax is progressive, the social security tax is regressive. The loopholes hork the entire system in ways that cannot be very simply explained. What it HAS done, however, is implemented a system of crony-under-taxation and legal tax dodging as well as federal tax credits to those who pay no income tax at all. Wipe it all clean and implement a single simple flat tax on everyone's income.
