> accused politicians of insane policies.

What I said: "several US Republican presidential candidates over the past couple of decades have specifically proposed a flat rate of income tax. "

This is 100% correct. From the 2015 primary season: https://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/16/business/economy/republic...

From 1999: https://www.nytimes.com/1999/11/14/us/flat-tax-goes-from-sna...

I suspect you misread what I wrote as "a flat income tax", which is ironic since it is the terminology actually used by these candidates, even though I understand it to imply a flate tax rate.

A flat tax rate means e.g. 10%.

You claimed it is "everyone pays the same amount".

You are the one single person which doesn't understand that the politicians mean e.g. "10%". But instead you thought they meant everyone pays 1k. Just stop pretending.
