    A flat percentage-based tax rate would cause a lot more problems than you’d think. Fixing the loopholes to ensure the wealthy are paying their fair share would be of a much larger benefit to everyone immediately. Maybe they can work on the rest of the simplicity after we can stop all the rich bitches from cheating the existing system.

      Oh no I get that that’s why I said they’re experts at hiding their income. All those loopholes would ultimately make it less functional. It would still be more fair than paying the same dollar amount but you’re not wrong they will cheat every way possible in order to steal a few dollars more.
