Flat tax > Progressive tax
Flat tax
A flat tax would crush the maddening mess of our current progressive system: one simple rate for everyone, slashing the endless brackets, loopholes, and IRS headaches that waste billions and favor the connected. It’s fair—same percentage, no punishing success or gaming the rules—while empowering every American to earn more without the government taking a bigger bite as you climb. Progressive taxes breed complexity, distort incentives, kill growth, and fuel corruption through lobbying; a flat tax strips that away, unleashing real opportunity and treating us all equally under the law instead of dividing us into resentful classes.
Progressive tax/exponential theft
The US progressive tax system is like a rocket ship blasting off, only to start deploying parachutes at every altitude milestone—first a little drag on the lower stages, then bigger chutes yanking harder as you climb, until the whole thing’s choking, slowing, and wondering why the hell it ever left the ground.
