I'd like to see companies have a flat tax with the only write off being charitable donations. Same as a personal tax.

I'm interested in why you think a progressive tax discourages people from being productive.
While it's true that at certain levels, you pay more tax on $'s earned over those levels, you still take home more than people who make less than those levels, so the harder you work, the more you make.
