Tony Leach~ Latest Letter to the Editor: Why is it when we hear about tax reform we hear all about ‘a flat tax’? What is it about a flat tax that is so appealing? I look at the flat tax bill in congress and I see about 10 co-sponsors. I look at history and see we’ve already done the flat tax thing. I look at the wording and it is just changing the tax rates but keeps all the power in Washington and the government in my pay check before I even get to see my money. If it’s so appealing to you, why no support? I talk to other people and they all say ‘we need a flat tax’ but when I push them on ‘why’ I get nothing but ‘well its better’. How is it better? What changes? I look at other tax reform bills and I see 70+ co-sponsors, but no one in congress talking about them. One bill called ‘The Fair Tax Act’ lets you earn, save, invest and keep all of your money free of federal taxes and only pay taxes when you spend above the poverty level. It’s progressive so the poor aren’t hurt; its revenue neutral so no one can complain about cutting programs and it grows the economy without the need for government to do anything but pass it and get out of the way. So I ask you…why in the heck do you want another flat tax? https://facebook/photo.php?fbid=465149633586651&set=a.138526326248985.20321.100002748567254&type=1&theater
