HC and Bernie don't support a flat tax.
They both want to raise marginal rates and eliminate loopholes for the wealthy.
I'd go for that too.
It's not either/or for me. We have to get a more equitable system.
I don't find it useful to divide ideas into democrat and republican ideas.
Smart and dumb is a better division for me.
I don't know about congressmen, but I know lots of democrats who would support a reasonable flat tax.
Anyone who does not go overboard- deserves to.
