Progressive tax, with many deductions. B. Progressive tax, with very few deductions. C. Flat tax, with many deductions. D. Flat tax, with almost no deductions. Results: a -> 12% b -> 12% c -> 8% d -> 67% Most people had valid reasons for their selections. Personally, the distribution was gratifying, although its statistical significance is questionable.
