I agree that the changes would have to be implemented over time, but it has to start somewhere.

Imo a flat tax rate for all would be fair. Each person, regardless of income pays a certain percentage and everyone's percentage is the same.

One question, and I am serious because I don't know: Where did you get the 40 million family figure that pay no taxes? Do you mean they don't pay any taxes in but still get a return?
