BTW, did you not even read what I just typed? Under every Flat Tax proposal I've ever read about, someone making $900 a month ($10,800 annually) wouldn't pay a dime in taxes. Just like it is now.
It's not a strawman. I read what you said. What's the difference between a man making 900 dollars and the man making 9000 dollars? Why is it fair to exempt the man making 900 from the flat tax? Because he doesn't make enough? Then what's the difference between not making enough and making too much? Is 9000 enough? What if the man makes more than 900 but less than 9000? What if he makes less than 900? What if he can't make it even without having to pay taxes? Fuck him? We're not making the wealthy pay an extra half a percent in taxes to help that man out because that would be unfair? That's your position.
