craig, as I said, I'd be less dubious about a flat tax if the comfortable weren't pushing it so hard. The rich and influential look after their interests first as the rest of us watch their sectors stagnating and social welfare lengthening. Public investment in commercial and military research and development rises in Canada while productivity falls and business lines its pockets.
The US Department of Defense--- funded by American taxpayers---will continue to be the global technology developer, as it was in the 20th century i.e. the Internet, fibre optics, transistors, micro chips, smaller and smaller digital computers, advanced materials. Fortunes abound but increasingly the middle class lives on crumbs from the outstretched hand of charity.
All reflected in the phenomenal and unprecedented attractions of Bernie and Donald and a country with the least popular presidential nominees in its history. And, what kind of a flat tax is critical. There are several. Anyone selling flat tax because it's simple makes me wary. King, you say that like there is something wrong with the rich looking after there own interests. We all do. Even the crackhead welfare bums. Best ad they can figure it out. The issue is not that they look out for themselves but in doing so do they take unfair advantage of others. While not all, there are many on the welfare rolls how are only looking out for themselves and doing the best they can to take advantage of others. Are you outraged by them as you are by the rich? You should be because the behaviour is the same. Are you outraged by yourself?

What the selfish rich do that the selfish poor don't, is to pay for the selfish poor.

....a country with the least popular presidential nominees in its history.... Keeping in mind, I don't think we were 'discussing' a flat tax, can you explain the first thought to me? If what you say is true, 'social welfare lengthening' must be in the interest of rich folks. Who's paying for the 'lengthening'? Aren't those the folks that hill-n-bern say are an endless deep pocket. Here's a thought, if the slimy rich are taxed at a flat, there's your word, hundred percent, is it enough? No fair going off on tangents, is it enough? I'm with you, or is it her? I'd be less dubious about the equivocation of unpopularity, if uncomfortable progressives didn't push so hard. Don't lower the gender barrier smashing secretary of the off shore tax shelter, to the same level as the next President of the good ole US of A.

Don't know how flat tax got in there, either, craig, but it's the way of the forum, sometimes entertaining and informative and sometimes aggravating. Flat tax, FBI centre, guns---yes, gun control---are also extraneous to consequences of the US election and its effect on US leadership in the world. On the other question: yes, I'm enraged by inequality, widening of the gap, trashing of the middle class carrying America's load.
What has the attention of the world is the question of how the electorate can change from dysfunctional to responsible government without a well balanced diet of truthful information other publics have grown to expect. From the current Economist: "Politicians have always lied on occasion, but the nature of their mendacity is changing. Donald Trump is the leading exponent of an approach that relies on assertions that “feel true” but have no basis in fact. We examine the causes and consequences of this new style of politics."

This isn't true King, or you'd be even more enraged by the Clinton's enriching themselves on the backs of some of the poorest of the poor in Haiti after the 2010 earthquakes. You'll never say a word about it because advancing Socialism and gun control is more important to you. http://www.nationalreview.com/article/43...nton-foundationA lecture from you on the importance of electorates having truthful information is a joke. We all wonder when you plan to practice what you preach?
A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.
