"the issue of the flat tax (which is what this is in sheep's clothing), it that it is retrogressive, it hits the poor far more than any other group. " I forgot to mention the stupid tax, also known as the lottery. Not a federal tax, but a good example of a state tax that is regressive. Have you ever watched someone wearing grubby clothes drive up in a clunker, cash a paycheck and then start buying scratch off tickets? It's even better when they bring their kids with them. While I am all for freedom of choice, I really don't like the government sponsoring this type of activity.
