But the flat income tax retains business taxes, including payroll taxes. The money to pay those costs are either in hidden higher prices or hidden in lower wages. That's why your position doesn't make sense to me. If you prefer to eliminate hidden taxes then why would you opt for the reform option that includes the most hidden taxes?

I can see your point, byt there's nothing about the flat tax that demands in principle that those inane taxes be kept just as there's nothing about a national sales tax that demands in principle the income tax be eliminated. Take this flat tax proposal, for instance -- it calls for the elimination of the payroll tax.

...there's nothing about the flat tax that demands in principle that those inane taxes be kept...

All the flat tax bills include both the EE and ER portions of payroll tax and business income taxes. If one is proposed without them, I'd be in favor.

... just as there's nothing about a national sales tax that demands in principle the income tax be eliminated.

Section 101-102:

SEC. 101. INCOME TAXES REPEALED.
SEC. 102. PAYROLL TAXES REPEALED.

THere is no other nrst bill.
