Agreed. Espescially with the 16th Amendment in the picture. Wanna bet that we could end up with the worst of both worlds otherwise?

--- a flat tax still leaves our government open to special interest groups and lobbyists both of which help get us into this mess in the first place

---under a flat tax there is no change to the 16 amendment--we will still have an income tax! we will still spend billions/year in compliance and we will still have a 20,000 page tax code


---under a flat tax illegal immigrants, and those conducting illegal activity will still pay nothing in taxes

is a flat tax better than what we have now...yes
is a flat tax better than the fair tax....no

What stops them from implementing both forms of taxation now?
