A flat tax on every taxable dollar ... end of story ... end of
complexities ...

That way huge companies will forever pay less money compared to their
profit

Are you interested in collecting enough money to run the legitimate

Why SHOULDN'T things be taken from you in the name of the Common Good?

- Now, why SHOULD things be taken from me
- in the name of the Common Good?

The so-called "common good" destroys the individual, and in the process,
destroys the "common good". Therefore, there is NO common good.
