What are the pros of a flat tax over a proggessive tax?

No. The fact that I identify facts of objective physical reality does not somehow make them into mere opinions. Your refusal to know those facts likewise does not somehow make them into opinions.

Only a real entity can act in the real world.

You have been proved objectively wrong, you know it, and you have no answers. Simple.

No, that is objectively false. The victories scored by a baseball team, for example, are not actions of any individual.

No, that is just more stupid, dishonest filth from you. What are the physical properties of a forest fire? Where is its center of gravity? What is its instantaneous velocity? What color is it?

See how stupid, evil, and dishonest your stupid, evil, dishonest filth is when its character is correctly identified?

Probably some hundreds of km under the surface of the continental USA. Now tell me where the center of gravity of a forest fire is (I'll even let you pick the fire), or admit that all your stupid, evil, dishonest filth is stupid, evil and dishonest.

It oscillates with the earth's rotation, but is on average the same as the earth's. Now tell me the instantaneous velocity of a forest fire, or admit that all your stupid, evil, dishonest filth is stupid, evil and dishonest.

Probably grey-brown. Now tell me the color of a forest fire, or admit that all your stupid, evil, dishonest filth is stupid, evil, and dishonest.

See how easily I always prove that your stupid, evil, dishonest filth is stupid, evil, and dishonest?

 

I don't know where this sits on the right-left spectrum but for a long time I have been for a flat assets tax in place of a federal income tax. Basically any nongovernment entity would be so taxed with no deductions or exceptions(Yes that includes churches and nonprofit organizations) of any kind except for a one off exemption for say the first maybe $20,000 worth of assets simply because tracking down a range of low tax miscelanea simply isn't worth the efforts of the IRS. It's simple, hard to cheat(Kind of hard to hide a house), and more fair than anything else I can see around. Difficult to see how the rich weasel their way out of this one. And yes the poor indirectly pay too for things like a rental pass-a-long.

Part of my thinking goes along with the notion that citizens are the ultimate landlord for all private property and each should receive the same rental fee off the top of the asset tax. With that steady income coming in I think this would help allay a lot of our social costs without anybody feeling cheated.

The only other federal taxes I can think of would be a use tax based roughly on cost of services ex. Parks, gas, alcohol etc. and foreign tariffs based on achieving rough trade equality.

One informing principle should also be that all American assets should be American owned. That would involve a time transition but the goal should be clear. To help achieve that goal all foreign owned American assets would be taxed the same and all American owned assets in foreign lands would be equally taxed. Being the citizen of a country should mean something.

Obviously there are a lot of details to be worked out but I think this supplies both a practical and principled foundation. At least compare this with what we have now.
