Flat tax is the best from of taxation

Let me tell you why you shall lose the conduct point for not posting the lyrics to a song. It is because it was the single rule I set up. Many people set up rules for debates, and type like an authoritarian, if you break my rules, you shall lose. This is the same thing, except I am being less authoritarian and still willing to have a debate with you, just saying that I did say if you do not follow my one rule you forfeit the conduct point. In this case, conduct is simply reading my opening statement in round one, if you did not like it, you should have debated me about it in the comments or nor accepted the debate, but you did not, too bad. I would say your definition of a flat tax is fine, essentially everyone is taxed at the same percent. Lets see the benefits. Okay first of all less "legal headache" is extremely unspecific. If I could assume that refers to situations like corporate tax breaks and stashing in places like the Cayman Island by setting up a mail box there or having 500 corporations set up in one building, a flat tax does not close this. This is separate from the kind of tax used, more so how whatever kind of tax used is implemented. So, this part, if I understood it correctly, is blatantly incorrect. Okay less administrative costs, okay. This is valid, however your job is to prove that a flat tax is better than any other kind of tax, fair tax, progressive tax, whatever. So you have to address them all and say why a flat tax is better. It is kind of a gotcha debate I made here. Okay, pro growth economic stance. It's predictability encourages risk taking and, by extension, growth. Um-mm, not really. First of all, that having a flat tax is predictable and encourages growth is somewhat valid. Okay yes it has the potential to raise equal or greater revenue than now depending on the rate, however as I said taxes will be hiked on the poor and middle class and pretty much all the millionaires in the billionaires in America get huge tax decreases, tell me how is the majority of U.S citizens getting poorer pro growth? Also just having a flat tax does not increase Wall St. speculation aka risk, a recent Princeton University study said the U.S is officially an oligarchy. http://www.bbc.com... What this means is that, more speculation always equals pro growth, is false. refer to: The Great Recession, The Stock Market Crash. It encourages sh1t like this, not growth. high risk taking is not growth it just does not make sense. Also this is not what a flat tax equals, if an investor or aspiring speculator can not understand their tax plan is not some one you want taking high risks. In any case, your average worker is not the kind of person taking high risks anyway. Okay fairness.. wtf. We already went over this. If you can honestly give me an awesome explanation of how a huge wage hike on the poor and middle class and a decrease on the rich is fair, honestly i will concede. Oh sh1t, onto your proposal: so what you are saying is no matter is some one has a yearly income of 100 million or 12 thousand they should pay the same amount. Come on, let me elaborate on this. Let's think of another example. Lets say the cost of government was $10,000 and there was a room of 2 taxpayers. One was a CEO worth 4 billion and one was poor, with a yearly income of $20,000 and two kids. In his plan, they would both pay $5,000. Explain to us how this is fair and balanced and pro growth. Also, would you please actually address my argument next time other than skipping it. In summary, a progressive tax is generally better than a flat tax. Do not fear, I shall follow the standards of the debate. My choice is, Bohemian Rhapsody, by Queen Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide, No escape from reality. Open your eyes, Look up to the skies and see, I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy, Because I'm easy come, easy go, Little high, little low, Anyway the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me. Mama, just killed a man, Put a gun against his head, Pulled my trigger, now he's dead. Mama, life had just begun, But now I've gone and thrown it all away. Mama, ooh, Didn't mean to make you cry, If I'm not back again this time tomorrow, Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters. Too late, my time has come, Sent shivers down my spine, Body's aching all the time. Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go, Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth. Mama, ooh (anyway the wind blows), I don't wanna die, I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all. I see a little silhouetto of a man, Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?

Oh, mama mia, mama mia (Mama mia, let me go.) Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me. So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye? So you think you can love me and leave me to die? Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby, Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here. (Oh, yeah, oh yeah) Nothing really matters, Anyone can see, Nothing really matters, Nothing really matters to me. Anyway the wind blows.
