Excellent description of grotesquely unfair character of flat taxes. I don't know why I've never noticed this before (I mean, the whole "Ph.D." in philosophy thing that I have suggests that I at least *ought* to notice such things) but Aristotle was already describing and discussing many of these issues when he explored the different kinds of "equality" in the 'Nicomachean Ethics.' Some 2400 years ago, so it is not as though these issues were new and nobody has ever had a chance to think about them.

Perhaps, but Republicans have taken them to grotesque depths.
