Re: Flat tax?
Flat tax is simply a way to take money out of the pockets of the less wealthy and put it in the pockets of those who dont need it as much. I am against the idea.
Being a dyed in the wool bleedingheart liberal, sadly I believe the fortunate members of a society should be helping out the less fortunate, because in many respects "There but for the grace of God go I" and all that.

Re: Flat tax?
This is what I thought was meant. Quote from the Ontario Budget.
The Budget also proposes a comprehensive tax reform package that includes moving to a single, value-added sales tax at a combined rate of 13 per cent on July 1, 2010. Over the next three years, the McGuinty government is proposing $10.6 billion in tax relief for people. This includes $4 billion in transitional cash payments as well as ongoing, permanent tax relief. Business taxes would also be cut by $4.5 billion over three years.
