Its really unfair if there is only a 2 dollar difference between two people, but one will pay thousands more in taxes than the other. That is why a flat tax rate is ideal for personal income tax. Tax cuts should work in a similiar way, give everyone a tax cut of the same amount, say 500 dollars, sure that may seem like nothing to a rich guy, but the less money you make, the more it will help you.

I think a flat tax rate would also be ideal for corporations too, but in addition I would propose that corporations should receive relative tax breaks if they keep jobs in the host country. Maybe distributing out tax breaks in accordance with CorpWatch would be beneficial, but I think basing a whole tax system on the judgement of CorpWatch would be negligent.

Raising the minimum wage as well as government assistance checks (social security) should be done in relative to cost of living increases.
