The flat rate consumption tax is no different than property tax. You pay based on your assessed value. Whether your property is $1000 or $1M. The rate is the same. That is how all tax should be. We are are all citizens. This concept of penalizing those that are smart enough and dedicated enough to generate wealth by leveraging the labors of their fellow citizens should be applauded and mimicked, not condemned and envied. Politicians who seek to divide this nation along class lines need to lined up against a lead and copper impregnated wall.

It is also time for unions to go the way of slavery. They have long outlived their relevance and serve to do nothing else than deprive the industries they control the opportunity to compete competitively in the global arena and provide a handful of union bosses the lifestyle of the rich and famous they spend their time condemning.
