"Well what do you suggest, a 'national sales tax' or VAT or 'consumption tax'? I think these would be regressive."
I favor the FairTax proposal, as articulated by Ancient Geezer in post #14. It is a National Retail Sales Tax, but it has a rebate to make it progressive. It is much fairer and simpler than the current system and has a myriad of other benefits over the Flat Tax, the current system and any other tax reform proposal.

Progressive?
Socialism, by any other name is still immoral stealing.
Progressive?
Progressive this!
You are free to give any excess that you choose to any one you want. And so am I. Why do we need the power of government to make it real?
