A flat tax with no exemptions or deductions is more fair than an incremental tax, especially with all kinds of exemptions. With a flat tax, everyone has some skin in the game. Besides that, people aren't punished for succeeding.

When President Trump was campaigning, that was what he was advocating....a flatter tax with less deductions.

A ‘flat tat’...on WHAT? “Income” (talk about another weasel-word)?? Not everyone has a job, not everyone takes ‘income’. How ‘bout the ‘retired’, under-the-table, criminals\illegals??

No, you want everyone w/ “skin in the game” you have a national sales tax. No exceptions, no ‘prebate’ (SMH), no NOTHING.

Unlike the ‘flat tax’, the NRST isn’t hidden, it’s on EVERY new purchase receipt. Best of all it’s wholly VOLUNTARY.
