Flat tax = too much paper work. Consumption tax. No one can argue it’s “fairness.” No one mentions consumption tax because there are too many syllables in the word.
It’s called sales tax.
Paying on what you “consume” - which is what you buy.
Agreed, get rid of all income tax (definitely for feds), eliminate evil 16th Amend.
Sales tax is much fairer and simpler. You pay for what you use, which for poor people would be less and rich, more, anyway.
