Any flat tax will be a regressive tax. The tax code needs to be scrapped and rewritten with far fewer deductions and loopholes, but it still should be a progressive tax. You could lower the rates significantly though if you were able to collect more fairly across the board.

Saw a pretty good thing about goldman sachs on real time. turns out goldman's son (the son of the founder) was on the board the wrote up the tax code. and apparently goldman sachs has been involved in writing a lot of these financial regulations and ultimately exploiting them for the past century or so.

Goldman Sachs is also involved in price inflation re: food. They speculated on wheat, corn, and rice futures and shot some prices up 320%. As a result of this speculation, 200 million people starved or became malnourished. Read more here: http://www.johannhari.com/2010/07/02/how-goldman-sachs-gambling-on-starving-the-worlds-poor-and-won

Republicans hate hillary clinton because of the healthcare thing in the 90s.

Basically were pissed they had to spend so much money to block healthcare reform and they're still bitter about it.
