I don't know what it means either, but if it means a flat tax, I'd like to hear your logic against it, and the deduction system is like spaghetti but the noodles are made from compressed shit. Tax breaks are often shit soup. Why should Nike and Amazon pay a smaller percentage when they have money to burn? Fuck em.
