Honestly, I don't necessarily have a problem with that idea. But this would also mean that our Gov't would have to operate on a smaller budget, which I don't have a problem with. Where are the cuts going to come from though, I gurantee it won't be from Defense, or the salaries of Representatives and senators. You want to say that the tax burden should be fair, fine, as long as the taxes put in by the poor is being used in their interest (i.e. those social programs that you're not that big a fan of).
