How are those words used wrong?

Equitable - taxing someone who can't afford new shoes at 4% of their income is reprehensible. Taxing someone with two yachts and three homes 8% of their income is an undertax.

Sensible - nobody, other than libertardian buttclowns and the ancap economists that they subscribe to, could ever call a flat tax sensible.

Funny I thought equitable meant being fair. How is treating one group different from another, fair?

Sensible = practical. It would be practical to have a flat tax, so we can incentivize people that have wealth to move into the state. Rather than have them move out because they are being treated unfairly.
