Raise taxes on wage earners and wages will rise to meet the level that a person is willing to work for for the given position. Taxes have no bearing on that number at all. Within a few short years wages will adjust to what that person needs to survive. It will however stop wallstreet from gambling.
A true flat tax without any attachment goes against everything that liberal truly believes in, don't it? Because you are all about making the successful pay more and the freeloaders pay nothing. Income is an income like you said.. I would concede that all investment income are the same as wage income, so personal wages included would be taxed equally... now you want higher wages as condition? Make up your mind.
