This is IMHO the only fair way to do it.

It pains me that so many Americans today want to penalize people for 
living the American dream and being successful.  The flat tax levels 
the playing field.  Rich people are still paying more money than poor, 
but the proportions are the same so it is fair.  No deductions.
