The progressive USA federal income tax has been, it seem to me, ever since dirt, and I have never heard or though of it as a socialist system. A flat tax is applied evenly across the board in a world where people are in very different social-economic levels, so it really doesn't have the fine tuning need to be fair or suited for use as a tool to encourage social and economic change like stimulating the economy or encouraging investment in alternative energy.
It's not fair to tax a guy with a flat tax that worries how he can make it through another day alive, because he lacks enough income to buy the bare necessities needed to subsist, like food clothing and shelter, while giving a guy that is making millions or billions of dollars, which he hoards away, the same flat tax rate. The difference for anyone that can't see it is the guy struggling every day to make a living need help, while the selfish, greedy sob making billions a year, which he hoarded away, doesn't need tax relief or a relatively low tax rates; because, he already has more than he can spend in ten life times.
