A flat tax rate is not workable. It puts too much burden on the lower incomes who are simply unable to pay as much as the higher incomes. A progressive taxation system is much fairer regarding a more equal distribution of wealth.

Its a fascinating subject that cannot easily be summed up in a nice 20 - 30 word post. There are many economic theories that all work but the best system is to pull the best ideas from each theory.

The question is how does a country become a rich country? And I dont believe a flat or regressive tax rate can achieve growth at a sufficient rate.
