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."
that's pretty much what I've always thought would happen.. but there must be some other 'catch' the GOP-types are proposing if they are for it.. like maybe if you make over $150K a year your rate drops to 10% and an additional 1% for every 100,000 after that.. so that by the time you get up to Buffet-like money, you're actually in the negative
