The Global Flat Tax Revolution

This mini-documentary from the Center for Freedom and Prosperity discusses the global flat tax revolution. There are now 24 flat tax jurisdictions (actually 25, but we didn't know about Trinidad & Tobago when the video was filmed), a remarkable development given the ideological opposition to tax reform from special interest groups and class warfare advocates. The six-minute video explains the key features of the flat tax revolution and highlights the reforms in Hong Kong, Estonia, and Iceland. The flat tax revolution has been especially strong in former Soviet-bloc nations, a rather ironic development since a so-called progressive income tax was a key tenet of Marx's Communist Manifesto.

Govts are against a flat tax because then people would know what they are actually paying. We could put an easily understandable figure on it. And that would really piss people off.

Good for them, now America can adopt the FairTax and still wipe the flor with their flat tax.

French are so brainwashed from very early age that it's impossible for them to change anything for better, also they are ruled by bureaucracy - I can't believe in any wise reform in France...

Rodzaj podatku dochodowego nie jest tak istotny jak jego wysokość, czy w ogóle istnienie. Praca nie powinna być opodatkowana. Chyba Reagan powiedział coś w tym stylu: Nakładacie podatki na pracujących, płacicie zasiłki tym co nie pracują, a później dziwicie się wysokiemu bezrobociu.
