for those of you that doesn't know what it is,

Q.What does "flat" mean?
A. "Flat" simply means "no graduation", or everybody pays the same rate. If you graph income levels with tax rates, there is no rise -- it is "flat."

Q.What is "graduation?"
A. Graduation comes from the idea that another dollar added to a rich person's income means less than another dollar to a poor person. In other words, when poor people get another dollar, they might use it to eat better. When rich people get another dollar, they will only increase their level of luxury slightly, probably unnoticeably. So graduation makes a rich person pay more per additional dollar than a poor person. Graduation is part of the current US income tax system. Most other countries use graduation as well.

Graduation isn't the problem. Everyone could pay a lower rate if they simplified teh code. In addition, everyone would be better off if we used an alternative to the income tax, which, since 1913, has destroyed the liberty treasured by Americans since 1776.
