I think the Fair tax is more saleable to an ignorant populace but personally prefer the simplicity of the flat tax. I would gleefully accept either as a replacement to our current system.

With the “Fair Tax” there is NO filing and NO IRS. With the Flat Tax, you file each year with supposedly a “post card” and the IRS remains intact.
Legislate and institute the “Fair Tax” and get rid of filing and the IRS in one fell swoop, I say.
