If you line up a hundred people, and explain the flat tax in detail....the vast majority (probably over 70 percent) will approve of the idea. Say a flat 12-percent for all private citizens and a flat 19-percent for major businesses.

But then you let the hundred folks know....there’s no credits that they can take....nothing on the home loan, kids, college, etc. At that point, folks get a bit frustrated and let you know they aren’t that happy with the flat tax idea. Same business operations...they expect credits.

In the end....you can’t get past credits. It’s part of our American tax mentality.
