Flat or Progressive?

There are so many pros and cons to this subject. I believe that it is not fair for the people who have went to college for 8 years and got a degree in something is not fair for them to pay so much more money than everyone else. They were the ones that got off their butts and went to college and did something with their life to help themselves and other people, they should not be the ones that have to suffer the greater taxes.  But then there are also the people that never went to college and live off the state and complain about the flat tax rate because it just makes the poor poorer. Well if you are poor get off your butt and get a job. I was reading some of the reviews on Debate.org and it is just ridiculous how people think.  I understand that there are lots of people out there that are physically unable to get jobs but there are also the people out there that completely just use the state for money and just keep having kids so the people that ACTUALLY have good jobs and make a steady amount of money have to pay for all of them. On the reviews you can tell all the people that say that flat tax rate is a bad idea is all people who don’t have jobs and don’t make very much money. They tell us how they have lost three jobs and how they are on disability and everything, which I understand, but how can you punish the people that actually went out a made a living instead of the people who just sit at home and go on a review site and cry about a flat tax rate and how poor they are?!  I think a flat tax rate is a good idea.
