FBI Showed Up To My Parents' House

I think everyone should be taxed a flat tax. A flat tax? Yeah, 30, 40%. Sure. It makes no sense to me why if you make a lot more money, now they take 50% of your money.

He should be paying the same amount of taxes as everyone else, but he shouldn't be getting penalized for making more.
