Which is better: a flat income tax or progressive income tax?

A tiered tax is the best.Incomes up to 40k should be taxed at a flat 5 percent, 40k to 100k 10 percent, 100k to 250k 15 percent, 250k to 500k 20 percent and so on, with a maximum of 30 percent for 1 million and above.Everyone pays their fair share when they make money.

Is that what you mean by better?It is better for the wealthy to have a flat tax.

A progressive tax is better for everyone.

I would look at it from a design standpoint.A tax that spreads out pain.

There is a problem.50% of the citizens should pay taxes.99% of people should pay their taxes.This would be done to ensure that.

Everyone is ok.

The burden of supporting necessary government services is shared.

Everyone is ok.

It was sensitive to its price.

Everyone is ok.

Mission creeps, the extension of government into non-necessary services, has the incentive of watching out for.No one should have to face the moral hazard.

In a federal union like the United States, it would be better to remove the authority of the federal government to impose taxes on the citizens.Half of what the federal government spends money on shouldn't be done, and half of what is left should be done by the States.
