re: #919 reason0911

It should however force it’s institutions to treat all people equally since it taxes them equally (or at least if it was fairer it would). Since all individuals are forced to pay taxes, each individual in relation to the state should have the same freedoms and protections. That is wholly different from a private organization which only collects money from it’s voluntary members and thus has a right to exclude or include anyone on the basis of it’s subjective requirements. For instance, if i open a salon and tout it as a black owned, and operated salon, I ought to be able to exclude Asians from employment. I also think I have a right to deny service to a nazi or ex-slave owner, or a dude without a shirt.

So you want a flat tax? Would that be more fair?

Yeah taxing Bill Gates as much as me the kid not even a year out of college working in a start up for sweat equity and the covering of travel expenses.
