It makes since that rich corporate parasites who make a fortune off of our labor would want a flat tax instead of a progressive tax.

With a proper progressive tax what you pay is adjusted to what you earn so people who can't even afford to pay their rent aren't hammered into poverty with excessive taxation, while people who make millions and billions have to pay a little more.

The problem is the rich use their money exploiting loop holes to get out of paying taxes, & a flat tax won't solve that.

The only reason why the federal government doesn't want a flat tax because it would force them to considerably curb their outrageous spending.

Wouldn't a single person have to pay way more taxes than a family of the same economic level?

A flat-tax is best for the average man. Those earning more than 50K would benefit except accountants.

it would have made it easier for free thinkers and supporters to get to America.

Im not understanding what you are trying to argue, i completely forget what all this is about. yes America was rich with resources, it was rich with resources for decades it was under English control. I dont get what you are trying to prove.

hong kong and singapore have their own geographic/political advantages currently, but they were not pioneers in the realm of democracy/capitalism.

Singapore: City-state, Reliant on a handful of large corporations (banking/trade), Location between China/Australia is a huge shipping advantage. Some human rights are lacking (free speech/assembly).

Hong Kong: Was part of China until it was taken control of by the British and used as their main point of operations in east Asia. Only ended in 1997.
