Giuliani Jeered for Opposing Flat Tax

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - Republican presidential candidate
Rudy Giuliani drew jeers Saturday for saying he does not think
a flat federal income tax is right for the country.

At a town hall meeting, several dozen people wearing white flat
tax T-shirts and hats and carrying signs expressed their
disappointment when Giuliani said he would not favor a flat tax.

“I don't think a flat tax is realistic change for America. Our
economy is dependent upon the way our tax system operates,”
the former New York City mayor said. “I have a real question
whether it would be the right transition for our economy.”

In the GOP race, two candidates - Sen. Sam Brownback of
Kansas and former Bush health secretary Tommy Thompson -
have voiced support for a flat tax.

1. We already HAVE a flat tax in the US

Just read David Cay Johnston's book Perfectly Legal. Overall taxes, not just federal taxes, but all (fed,state,local) has taxation in the US at around 22% for EVERYBODY (except corporation 'people').

A 'military' order, meaning that they manipulate the US, and anyone else they can, into fighting wars such as the Iraq fiasco.
