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.
