Hatch's tax injustice

Richard Hatch's conviction in his tax evasion case was an injustice. Hatch won $1 million as the first winner of "Survivor" and was expected to give some of it to the government in exchange for nothing! Taxes are government-sponsored theft. What a way to take all the fun and excitement of game shows like "Survivor." With taxes, winning means nothing. People are punished for being successful, and poor people are rewarded for being poor. There needs to be a flat tax - everyone pays the same sum of money- or even better, no taxes at all! The tax system as it presently exists puts America one step closer to Communism, and it must be abolished.
