hmm, lets see Imran
lets consider 4 people and 3 tax systems
the 4 people are a Rich man who made 60 Credits, a Middle class man who made 20 Cs, a Poor man who made 15 Cs, and a man in pOverty who made 10 Cs
the first tax system, what I would call a regressive tax and you a flat tax, is what they use for a lot of the fees and standard taxes (like that to register a car, or a cell phone, or to buy a bottle of Jack), there is just a 'flat tax' of 10 done across the board
here is what it would look like after taxes
R = 50Cs (83% left)
M = 10Cs (50% left)
P = 5Cs (33% left)
O = 0 Cs (0 % left)
State = 40 Cs
second lets consider what I would consider a flat tax, lets consider one that takes 50% of the income
R = 30Cs (50% left)
M = 10Cs (50% left)
P = 7.5 Cs (50% left)
O = 5 Cs (50% left)
S = 52.5 Cs
finally lets consider a progressive tax system, where the first 10Cs are not taxed at all, the next 5 are taxed at 20%, the next 5 are taxed at 40%, and everything beyond that is taxed at 75% (this is like what the federal income tax is meant to be now (But the rich break it with their accountants))
R = 27 Cs (45% left)
M = 17 Cs (85% left)
P = 14 Cs (93% left)
O = 10 Cs (100% left)
S = 37 Cs
As is clearly seen, the method that you prefer ****s the poor in the ass, and not in that nice gay way either
and in fact, the progressive way is the only way that allows the poor material wealth to have the opportunity to survive

I believe UR meant that in the US, a rich man was gauranteed of getting his cyst gone faster than a poor man.

How do I know, do I look like UR?
Other than that we can assume Asher and his parents are rich because he's always bragging about new computers (especially those loaded with expensive Microsloth products).

)..
And we wait only a week at most. 
. It is measured on the amount of tax to be paid. The flat tax is neither progressive nor regressive and calling it regressive is simply another propaganda trick.
