Perhaps you haven't noticed that there are a few states left that do not
have a state income tax, only a sales tax. I for one favor a flat tax as
the only fair option. There is no excuse for taking a higher percentage
tax from those who are better off, someone making $10k and someone
making $10m should be paying the same percentage tax.

Welcome to the good ol' USA, where doing the right thing is punished, and
being a deadbeat is rewarded.

That's the way we work here----it's a punitive system.
