Steve Forbes tried to push for a flat tax years ago so it's no surprise conservs and conserv organizations like Freedom Works are bringing it up again. A flat income tax taxes everyone at the same rate regardless of income level and would hurt low-income people the most...One thing that remains consistent with conservs - they don't care about people who have less.
All those teabaggers who receive GOV'T Social Security, GOV'T Vet benefits, and GOV'T disability benefits would get hurt, but they don't think things through; they accept whatever a conserv pol/FOX tells them.
