I am not sure I care for your debating style but it seems some basics will have to be outlined for you.

A true flat tax, with no exceptions and no medicare no SS, no hidden unemployment insurance tax, would be paid every April 15. Withholding tax would be eliminated, of course.

Unlike seeing a dollar at the bottom of a receipt, folks would be taking out loans to pay their tax bills. The DC tax regime wouldn't last one election cycle.

Its a political theory not a tax reform theory-- recognize the difference because I am sure your intentions are in light of the bigger cause, starving Leviathan.

I think it doesn't matter your feelings about any poster's debating style. That aside, there is no such animal as a flat income tax that eliminates withholding payroll taxes; nor is there any flat income tax proposal that eliminates withholding. Perhaps that is something that needed outlining for you?

Or are you simply arguing nonsense?
