Soak the Rich
Free Markets are preferable because they bring the greatest good to the greatest amount of people. I like the idea of the flat tax because I think it would lead to more growth. However, I like the idea of taxing the rich more because like I said before, they derive less utility our of their money than a poor person. In addition, if you keep taxes low in the lower income levels that allows infant entrepeneurs a greater chance of succeeding.
The goal of the tax system should be to interfere with the economy as little as possible to allow growth. However, if you can get more of your tax dollars out of the rich (without further hampering growth) so much the better.
I don't think people in the bottom quartile of income should pay any income taxes.
