As most of us, except you, perhaps, there is no "flat tax".
Yes there is. S.1099


That's merely a general classification of certain types of income-based taxes masquerading as consumption taxes by clever theoretical definition.
Yeah. We wouldn't want are tax system to be clever, now would we. The Flat Tax taxes wages, not income.


They are all still income-based taxes and suffer from the common fatal flaws thereof some of which are shown on this post.
You're referencing your own post as proof? For anyone interested in real information on the Flat Tax, the Heritage Foundation has published "A Brief Guide to the Flat Tax." It's worth a read.


All you're admitting to by such a comment "I support the flat tax" is that you support a form of income tax - which you've made abundantly clear on these threads.
I support the Flat Tax. The Flat Tax is a consumption tax. I support a consumption tax. I'm sorry if it's too "clever" for you too understand.

Sorry, no. Any flat tax is an income-based tax tarted-up to make unwise people THINK it's a consumption tax.

I see it's fooled you. And "clever"??? No, quite the opposite in fact.

Anyway, you've never supported any know variant of any flat tax. Instead you preferred your own but would/could never define it.
