If, on the other hand, one were to run an experiment asking what the tax rate would have to be so that there would be no losers in a flat tax system, the rate that would have to come into play would be 17%, which is our lowest rate in the three rate brackets, but the cost of such an option would be $17.8 billion.
Si, par contre, on voulait faire l'expérience du taux d'imposition uniforme, mais en fixant un taux qui ne ferait aucun perdant, il faudrait que ce taux uniforme soit de 17 p. 100, qui se trouve à être le plus bas de nos trois taux d'imposition, mais le coût d'une telle option serait de 17,8 milliards de dollars.
