How about the flat tax? Everybody pays 8% sales tax on what you spend. Buy a Cadillac you pay a lot, buy a use Pinto, you pay a little. Exempt food, clothing up to $100 per item and medicine. No tax on savings. Works great.

I hate these false assertions about the graduated tax. When you move into a higher bracket that rate doesn’t to ALL your income.
