The flat INCOME tax does little to solve the problems we have with the tax code. Very little. In fact, it only does one thing: flattens the rate.

Does nothing to solve the problems of fairness, simplicity, transparency, privacy or efficiency.

Nada.

That statement shows gross ignorance of what the Flat Tax really is. The most important feature of the Flat Tax isn't the flat rate, it's that, by taxing consumption, it removes the bias against savings inherent in our current system.

Why is it the FTKs are the ones most ignorant of other tax systems?
