you need to read up on the principle of a single tax rate ,it's all in the link i posted
but a quick taster for you is that with a single tax rate most if not all the loopholes open to high earners via their accountants will be closed .At the moment with a good accountant someone who is supposed to pay 50% will probably pay less that 20%
