Their fair share? You mean more. Doesn't matter what the base is or what the rates are, it's always more.

No, I mean their fair share—which they do not currently pay. Don’t put words in my mouth.

They aren't paying the 5% everyone else pays? You know, like the state constitution says when it mandates everyone pay the same rate?
If they aren't paying their 5% there are laws in place for dealing with avoidance.

Okay, again: 5% to Daddy Warbucks here is couch change. 5% to someone who barely makes minimum wage? That’s a whole different kettle of fish.
They are not paying their fair share. Flat taxes are disproportionally harmful to the poor and middle class, and all the lolbertarian weirdos kissing millionaire ass here know it.

You don't know shit about anybody's situation but your own. You're awfully free with the idea of forcing your views on other people, using government force to get your way.
Your fiscal policy boils down to "They have money, I want it, fuck them and their families. And who cares about fairness or consequences."

The current situation ISN’T fair. This would make it fair-ER.
