No. Flat rate tax has person A paying a thousand, and person B paying a million. Thats not fair. In fact its straight up Marxist - "from each according to his ability".
That describes Trump pretty well. Gifted his wealth and priviledge, complains endlessly because he thinks the rules don't apply to him, that he is immune and also complains if any of his other wealthy elitist friends get investigated or charged with crimes, he thinks the rules don't apply to him, because of his wealthy privileged position.
Do you understand why others might consider D Trump to be an elitist? Given his almost obscene levels of wealth and his over the top expectations of priviledge, and his use of lawyers and other mega wealthy contacts to stack the game in his favour and to tread on people that get in his way.
I understand why others disagree. But have you noticed that his political opponents are ALL from the entrenched ruling class and elitists who have been in power for many decades? Have y'all noticed that the elitists establishment ruling class, along with mainstream media, will do or say anything to get average Americans to hate Donald Trump?
Thatcher tried this principle in the 1970s. It was run as a pilot in Scotland, was immediately described as a poll tax and ended in disaster for the government. The Conservatives have never been in power there since.
I don't think a lot of "average Americans" need much convincing.
Yes, a lot of USA political leaders are very wealthy people. Trump is more wealthy than most of them.
Well, the left guys talk bad about the right guys and the right guys talk bad about the left guys, that seems to be the USA way of doing politics. Smear, smear, smear rather than focus on policy.
If the Democrat party win the next USA presidential election, then they will control the whitehouse for the next 4 years, then there will be another presidential election, same as always. If the Republican party have policies that appeal to people then they might win that election, same as always.
As long as those average Americans are either liberals or propegandized by the left stream media.
And yet no matter what they are still accused of not paying their fair share. And the Democratic Party has become the party of the rich. They are getting something out it. I wonder what it is.How do you figure? Since 1990, the top bracket tax rate has increased only under Democratic presidents and decreased only under Republicans.

How does this logic work?
Logic? I think you have come to the wrong discussion.
An affect of professionalism?
Well, of course there are some people that are all about brand, life long Republicans, life long Democrats. But there are also people that are about policy, and some people that are aware of where the country is at and what they think needs to happen next.
