Time for a flat tax

[FRPLG]

Can we also dispell the notion that the amount of "work" has or should have anything to do with compensation? I don't think teaching is harder than say landscaping but one is way more important than the other and should be paid more. Compensation should reflect the value of the work and the scarcity of people able to properly do the work. The reason CEOs make so much money is because there aren't a lot of people who can do those jobs and when done properly the work they do generates far more money, value as it relates to purpose, than does they guy who sweeps the floor of the CEO's office. I know I am stating some obvious stuff here but others keep talking about "working hard". That has nothing to with any part of this debate to me.
