When middle-class families file their taxes this week, they will pay a higher tax rate than many millionaires and billionaires. That's not right, and it's something we need to fix. That's why we should propose the Flat Tax, which evens the playing field. We have a deficit that needs to be paid down. And we need to invest in an economy built to last -- one that creates the jobs of the future and makes things the rest of the world buys. By asking all Americans to pay a flat tax, millionaires still pay more more than everyone else because they earn more. We can reduce the deficit and pay down the debt. When we succeed in that, we will grow and strengthen our economy. Members of Congress will get a chance to show where their priorities are next week when the Senate votes on the Buffett Rule. Let's encourage them to make our system better by ensuring that everyone is paying their fair share. They need to vote down the Buffett Rule, and replace the current unfair tax system with a flat tax.

Just hijacked Obama's letter to the editor drive for the buffet rule:)
If 0bama wants the Buffett rule I want a rule that money I put at risk in the
stock market or property speculation to give me a tax offset if I lose money.
Fair is fair.
