Here's my take on the "flat tax".

I'm no longer in the work force, thus I no longer receive a check. That means that taxes are not held out of my non check.

The monies I have are what I managed to save after I've already paid state and Federal taxes. So now comes a flat tax on all goods and services that I'm now paying with monies that have already been taxed.

****, that sure seems to me like a double or triple taxation on my original monies.

Screw the old people, they won't be alive much longer anyway.
