Title: Flat tax
Published: VCReporter
Date: Nov. 10, 2011
About this cartoon: Republican presidential hopefuls such as Herman Cain and Rick Perry has espoused vartiations of the "flat tax." The claim is that a simpler, lower tax rate will benefit everyone and bring in more revenue. The claims of simplicity mask the fact that taxes on the wealthiest would be cut dramatically, reversing the notion of progressive tax rates that make things easier on those with less money; in fact, these plans tend to make things financially harder on the poor and easier on the wealthy.
