I doubt that a flat tax would discourage average people from saving, John. I do my best to save as much as I can for rainy days. However, it may encourage wealthy investors to look elsewhere to park their money. IMHO the sad part is the US Gov. takes in plenty of money but feels obligated to redistribute money as opposed to doing their “real” job of providing infrastructure, security, and education. Unfortunately, for us taxpayers, the mice are now in charge of the cheese and they are hungry.
