Yes, but there are people who legitimately need help. Unfortunately there is no method of preventing people from taking advantage of systems set in place to help those who need it.

I may have misunderstood that post, to me it seemed like you were saying that in this hypothetical situation, there were only leeches and no poor people that legitimately needed help, and you'd rather help the leeches than not help anyone, like you had some kind of need to help people regardless if they deserved it or not.

Here's why I'm against a flat tax...
The government provides services to all people, but it obviously can't divide this cost equally among all people. Rather than have people pay the same dollar amount, they should be bearing the same burden for government. With a flat tax, the burden of taxation is low for high incomes, and it gets progressively higher as incomes decrease. Even if you were to not tax incomes below a certain amount, those that are just above that level are hit disproportionally hard.

Except the flat tax works in Hong Kong, where they are doing better economically than the US

Flat taxes are only stupid to people who think they will get screwed by them. Not only that, you're Australian, so why are you commenting on something that would only directly affect the American economy. You need to fuck off and let us deal with it.

Fuck man, everything that effects the US economy effects the rest of the world expecially Australia.
Flat taxes are not a good idea for anyone, and I have plenty of proof to back up my opinions.
Ok, but I know more that you about economics and politics, and thats why conservative economics has dominated in Australia and across the world for the last 30 years, even when we have had a socialist government in.
