No exceptions. 75% of everyone's pay, whether it comes from stocks, salary or investments will be 75%

That way everyone is sure to pay the fair amount....

Oh, and the same applies to winnings and inheritance.

All REPUBLICANS pay 75%. After all, they voted for the idiots that created this huge mess, they should pay more to fix it.

That's why I am against the flat tax

Can no one read between the lines???
