    I'm not opposed to a flat tax, but any serious analysis I've seen done by a real tax wonk pretty much debunks the idea that 10% is high enough. I also don't trust our Congress not to screw it up down the road.

    Uhhhh, aren't YOU a tax wonk? I think I'd trust your opinion over most I would hear on the subject. I agree 10% is too low. I'm paying 30+% now so anything in between that would be fine with me as long as EVERYONE had to pay it or be shot in the face with dead buzzards guts.
    If we all threw our problems in a pile, and you saw everyone else's problems-- you'd take yours back.
