If I had complete faith, or even a little faith, in our government, I would be all for a simpler,fairer flat tax. You mention an oversight - a super majority - correct me if I am wrong, but didn't that majority bring us obamacare? If we were dealing with statesmen, I wouldn't be as apprehensive, but we are dealing with a bunch of career politicians and a democratic party that has been hijacked by leftists.
No, the Dems did that with simple majorities in both houses plus a Dem President. Even now, tax law is not easily changed. Perhaps *super majority* is the wrong choice of words...but I believe that a HUGE amount of congressional oversight with constitutional application at every turn in the road is called for whenever *they the lawmakers* want to stick it to *we the people.
It's that old "taxation without representation" thing....
