CMV:Rand Paul's Proposed "Flat Tax" Is The Most Effective Way At Creating a Fair and Effective Tax

-By ensuring everyone has the same tax rate, it keeps it equal and fair for everyone. And technically, the wealthy will still be paying more- 14.5% of 1 million is more than 14.5% of $50,000.

-By maintaining a flat tax rate, it incentives Americans to work harder or pursue higher paying jobs that are higher in demand, as they no longer would be burdened with massive taxes in the higher earning brackets.

-The standardized deductions still help poor families and individuals survive. By allowing a $15,000 deduction per filer and $5,000 per family member, this helps low income families remain tax free, as they need every dollar they make. The $5,000 per family member also helps support larger families. 

-Setting a flat 14.5% flat tax on corporate income helps reduce the incentive for corporations to relocate outside of the U.S, as we have the highest corporate tax in the world. This will help the U.S collect more taxes overall, by discouraging the usage of tax loopholes to avoid paying taxes to the U.S, which will help pay for expensive social programs the U.S uses.

-Taxing imported products encourages the employment of blue collar workers in America, helping the economy by creating more jobs.

Money is not a linear benefit;

Earning 20k a year does not mean you are twice as better off than when you earn 10k a year. Without trying to make up numbers for it, you are _a lot_ better off than just twice.

Earning a million a year does not mean you are 50 times better off than earning 20k a year, you are almost an infinite times better off.

Money is taxed accordingly. When you earn 200k/year you could lose an additional 10% of your earning without any realistic hardship, if you earn 20k/year losing an additional 10% of your money can mean the difference between getting healthcare or not.

Regardless of tax rate, higher earners always take home more money, even if they are 'bumped' to a higher tax rate; you are only taxed for the amount of money you make in the higher bracket, not the total amount.

"The US has the highest corporate tax rate" is also not as clearly cut as you make it. It has the highest rate in _theory_, but in practice economics agree that nobody is actually taxed at this rate, and different experts put the real taxation rates anywhere from second in the developed world to below average.
