    A flat tax is regressive.

    The sales tax is regressive.

    I support a VAT to replace the sales taxes so that the consumption tax is spread out more evenly in the different stages of production.

    I support a progressive income tax system of increasing rates up the income ladder. That’s fair in my mind.

    Yet another problem, you associate progressive with fairness.

    Not everyone thinks the same way you do.

    Soooo naive. Sales taxes are for the state, this is a national VAT. So you will pay state sales tax + national VAT. Do you think the states will give up their sales tax revenue? No freaking way, our state is already on the brink.

    It’s coming, we will have VAT soon plus the financial transaction tax.

    Are you suggesting ‘regressive’ is fair?

    Because that’s what we have in place right now. And it’s definitely not fair.

    A flat tax with no avoidance. Great in theory. How is it implemented? How is income defined? What about gains from capital? Anything to reduce the absurd degree of tax avoidance and shirking in the current system.
