thing is, if there is a flat tax-i pay 10% (for instance) and gates pays his 10%...now obviously, he has more, so he should give more according to some--but isn't 10% of a billion a hell of a lot of money??
basketball players make a ton of money--too much? well, if they didn't get paid so much, you think the guy selling beer in the stands would make more? hell no, the owner would pocket more!
there is no easy answer as to what to do.

Exactly. I agree with you 100%.
