Two excellent reasons to OPPOSE gay marriage in the UK

1) I've argued against income tax in this thread, so your argument against my point makes no sense.

I didn't assume you were talking about taxing income, but rather a sales tax sort of idea, what they call the Fair Tax over here in murica.

2) A flat tax is equal, because the percentage is equal. 10% of 10,000 is less than 10% of 100,000, but it's still 10%...the same equal rate.

Yes, the percentages are equal numbers. Is the real-life impact of this equal? I've been poor enough where even a few dollars was the margin between eating and starving. I daresay this is never the case for a millionaire. A thousand dollars does not have equal relative value to me that it does to a millionaire. Ten percent does not have equal relative value to me that it does to a millionaire. It's a great idea in theory. In practice, it places the highest burden on those least able to bear it.

3) In this thread I've also advocated that under any income tax system, the first $X should be non-taxable, where X is the calculated living wage for a person, dependent on their area (i.e. taking into consideration house prices / rents).

That is a great idea.

oh piss off.

Your debating skills is no better than Ted Cruz's.
