Now, Rap, you know that I loves ya', sniff.... But I can't go with a flat tax unless yer willin' to boost the taxable income up to, oh, about 10% tp 20% 'er so over the poverty line. Ten grand ain't what it used to be, especially if yer a single workin' mom with three kids...

How's about 20% over the poverty line?

Come on, in the big scheme of things it won't amount to nuthin' more than a drop in the bucket....
