Arizona Supreme Court Removes Tax Incentive From Ballot, A Blow To Teachers

17. depending on context

the capital gains tax rates are a sick joke that serve as direct evidence of how regressive our tax system has become, but that's non sequitur.

a 2% flat tax is a regressive tax. you can call it "small" or "token" if you like, that's up to your opinion. the simple fact remains that it is regressive. sure it won't sting like a 10% flat tax, but why regress at all if we don't have to?

i don't understand your reasoning around this. you agreed that income taxes should be progressive rather than regressive, yet you also expressed multiple times that a flat tax on income is a desirable method of revenue acquisition. which is it?
