A recently published letter from reader Jim Robertson attempted to clarify how any person could predict his/her income tax under the proposed Forbes' flat tax plan.

I surely hope Mr. Robertson was correct in his failure to mention interest, dividends and Social Security payments. If none of those are to be taxed, millions of retirees should be clamoring for adoption of Forbes' plan.If, on the other hand, interest, dividends and Social Security are to be fully taxed, retirees would do well to take a much closer look at the Forbes' proposal.
