It has been argued for some time how much we should pay in income tax. Many feel like the rich are getting away with not paying enough while others feel like Americans are collectively being overtaxed. One solution would be a flat tax rate for all Americans; high earning taxpayers would pay more in taxes while having the same rate as the taxpayers who earn less. Our current tax code is too complex, we are paying for too many public services, and many Americans are being wronfully audited by the IRS. A flat tax would be a step in the right direction to simplify our tax code and make sure everyone pays back fairly without paying too much. This would also decrease the amount of tax-evaders because less people would feel like they are being robbed.
