Bill:  What a great idea!!! Let's move the tax burden from those who can most afford to pay to those who can least afford to pay.  Let's tax the clerk at the 7-11 the same percentage as we tax the guy who owns twenty of them.  Let's forget the concept of "progressive" taxation and institute a "flat tax" which is, of course, regressive.  Let's remove all deductions and further punish the working class parents who are struggling to support a family and possibly buying a modest home...  Sorry, Bill, we disagree on this one.  Gary Crum
