Why? A millionaire worked for his money (assuming he did work for it). So why should people that worked to earn more be taxed more? Everyone should get taxed the same percentage. We are all supposed to be equal!
You really have your work cut out for you to explain why a millionaire deserves a higher percentage TAKEN from them to support the poor.
ps- I am not even referring to millionaires...but people that make say 100k instead of people that make say 30k. But millionaires still count in my flat tax idea.
