If you understand how the money multiplier works, and how income
taxes destroy it -- by taking the money out of the economy before it
can multiply -- you'd understand a flat tax is warranted.

By taxing the "supposed rich" we are only taxing our investors.
Investors, not government, creates jobs. People who already have
wealth don't pay income tax. So, again, all we are doing is taxing
those who aren't already wealthy.
