Reply #49: Pardon me, I never quoted 25%

[Gormy Cuss]

There are a wide variety of so-called flat tax proposals, usually varying in what qualifies as 'income' and whether there are exemptions before the flat tax is imposed. I could spend all day trying to find the studies you cite, or you could reveal something that would make it possible for me to find these studies in short time. I read on this issue regularly and have never encountered a reputable economic analysis that pegs the number that low. Blowhard columnists and politicians who hide behind general statements come up with numbers like this. If these studies are out there, I'd love to review them because I could learn something.
