re: #230 danarchy
It depends how you define equitably. It has been said before and I will say it again, the tax code is not and should not be about “fairness”. Fair is a subjective thing. The tax code should be about maximizing revenues while not hurting the economy as a whole, which would have the effect of reducing revenues in the end. Is that point somewhere north of 15%, probably, but it is not likely to be as high as the income tax rate.
Then we have nothing to discuss, because i think fairness is the whole ball of wax.
