Clearly, she got the full marxist indoctrination at Boston U.

But, she does have a video.

Cute and energetic, but she looks a lot shorter in the video than she appears to be on the news

No of course not. I mean taxed the same percentage based on income. So yeah, people that make more are going to pay more based on the established %.

But it shouldn't be XYZ poor person pays 2% and XYZ rich person pays 50% as an example.

Everyone pays the same % on the same amount of income. Each person is taxed @ X % on the first $10,000 and then X% on the next bucket of income.

A flat tax would really hurt the lower class

The real inequality is that half of the country pays nothing in federal taxes.

A few things here.
1. No way in hell do I agree that any tax rate should be 70%.
2. However, you guys are acting like these people would actually be taxed at 70%. umm, no they wouldn't. They would find enough loopholes ect to bring that number way way down. In the 1950's the top marginal rate was 91% and the effective tax rate for the top 1% was 42%, which btw, 42% is still a stupid amount of taxes that nobody should pay but I'm just saying.
3. My idea for taxes would be to be taxed 0 on the first 15k if single and 30k if married and then every penny is taxed at whatever number makes the math work after that for every worker. Say that number is 25%. So a married couple pays 0 on the first 30k and 25% on everything after that. No loopholes. That way everyone pays an equal share. Done. Easy.

taxes should be higher for rich people. taxing poor people is an extremely inefficient way to collect money.
nonetheless, the spending inefficiencies by the government has been ridiculous.
the fact that things like https://trumpgolfcount.com exist or even worse that the president is even allowed to spend more than 10 million on his fucking hobby which he's not even good at is absurd.

I didn't say we should have a flat tax.

If there was a Flat Tax everybody would have some skin in the game..the amount paid in taxes is proportionate to the amount of money made. Everybody should pay

What about these deadbeats that get $8-$10k back every year? That shit pisses me off more than anything else.
