Organizations and pages which advocate a tax system where everyone pays the same percentage of their income, (except the poorest, all current proposals include tens of thousands of dollars in flat exemptions for everyone). If some 17% flat tax has a ten thousand dollar exemption for one person, for example, then a person with an income of $34,000 would pay taxes on $24,000: They'd pay $4080 per year. Someone with an income of a million would pay taxes on $999,000: They'd pay $169,830 per year.
