We'll never see a flat tax.  The argument would be the same, "I'll pay more because I make more."

See, it usually works like this...Those who make more don't ever want to rationalize or give credence to the notion that they should pay anymore than someone who makes less than them...even if it's exactly the same amount, based on earnings...they don't see it like that.  Their math skills and the reality of it, stops at the numbers being side by side.  

"Wait, you only paid 2,500 hundred in taxes?"  

"Only?"  

"I paid 25,000!"  

"You make 250k a year, I make 25k, that's 10 percent."  

"You just don't fuck'in get it, do you?  25 THOUSAND DOLLARS MAN!!!"

"No, I guess I don't."
