What do you think about a flat tax, across the board?

Say everyone had to pay 15% in taxes - off of their gross income.

Fair or Not Fair?

Fair, many corporations pay 0% due to offshore bank accounts. We need to close the tax loops that allow them to weasel out of paying any money to the government. This is a big reason why we are in such enormous debt, spending or not.

 not fair. 15% is alot and really affects low income.. 15% is nothing to a millionaire.  ex: you make 20k. 3k in taxes will really hurt you. You make 5 mil. LESS than 1 mil in taxes affects...barely.

 Not fair. I am low income - 15% would break me. When you make 18K a year, 15% is a whole lot of money.

If everyone pays 15 cent per dollar, I don't see it as unfair. It's equal for everyone.
