The current tax code is an abomination, no question, that could do with a thorough streamlining.

I dislike arguments for a flat tax that frame it in terms of simplifying the tax code as if it was the most important result of the change.

I believe that the "flat" tax is actually a benefit to the wealthy. Think of a person paying $2400 of their $24000 yearly salary and a person paying $24000 of their $240000 salary. Which one is more burdoned by this new "simple and fair" taxation scheme?

Tax them who can afford it.
