Yeah... plenty of people on welfare DO have jobs but get paid so badly that they need more to just survive... because minimum wage is nowhere near livable... and plenty more without welfare can barely make it because of how low their salaries are... a flat tax there would just hurt them more than they already are hurt... it'd make the rich very happy of course though and that's all that Bush cares about. The poor and middle classes are the last thing in his mind.
