Foolish argument since Congress can change the tax rate at any time. You cannot prevent that with ANY plan.
Your opposition gives support to the current, corrupt, inane tax code and IRS we have today.
Conservatives have supported a flat tax for decades.
With regard to giving the gov't another channel for taxes, that did not stop Obama from trying to madate you buy a product.
By changing our tax system from income to consumption, we make it transparent, fair and simple.
The flat tax will not stop some liberal in the future from trying to impose a VAT or a "fee" on something.
The only thing stopping liberals, now and in the future, is eternal vigilence.
Citizens have a responsibility.
I believe that you have mis-understood my position. To re-state - Becaues Congress plays will-nilly with tax rates, allowing them to legitimize an ADDITIONAL revenue stream is the wrong answer. Repeasl the 16thm, and then we can talk about a consumption tax.
