Nothing will be closer to fair than a proportional, single rate.

Some of those who disagree with that statement will complain about how much the rich "have left after paying taxes", and THAT motive would be socialistic. The minute it goes to "But the rich can AFFORD to pay more" - that's a symptom of a socialistic mindset.

i think the issue with the current system is all the loopholes. they need to reform the tax code, with more tax breaks to people who do actually create more jobs, who invest in new business. that type of stuff should be rewarded, rather than having some of the tax shelters that currently exist.
