You really are a trip! Always putting the burden on others who challenge your claims.
The only area of agreement between us is that a flat tax is simpler than the current system. Not better, not fairer, but only less complex.
I cant prove that it wont work. I can only say that I have not seen a proposal that would work and would not be regressive and cost middle class taxpayers more as well as eliminate current tax incentives that benefit middle class taxpayers - home ownership, retirement savings. etc.
If you know of one that works and doesnt have the downsides that I noted, we can discuss it.
