The issue with flat taxes is that, while they apply the same rate to all income levels, their impact is often regressive. Lower-income individuals end up paying a larger share of their disposable income compared to higher-income individuals.

Our current tax system is progressive because we pay the same rate within each tax bracket. Only the portion of income that falls into a higher bracket is taxed at the higher rate, not the entire income.

Anyone who tells you it’s not fair either doesn’t understand taxes or is lying to you.

I think it’s a different definition of fair. You can reasonably understand how somebody would think a either a progressive or a flat tax system are both fair

History, tech stuff, SEO/marketing, shitposting, etc. etc.

I think of fair as what does the least harm
