But there's a big difference between fifteen percent of what you *make*
and fifteen percent of what you *spend*. By simple economics, the less
money you make, the greater a percentage of it you *must* spend, therefore
the greater a percentage of your total income that is subject to 15%
taxation.

Better to read Harry Browne's "Why Government Doesn't Work" to find out
about a solution that would eliminate federal taxes altogether.
