A true flat tax is in effect regressive. Taking 15% of minimum wage is much more of a burden than taking 15% of $500,000.

And the superwealthy have the vast majority of their income in capital gains and dividends, while the poor are lucky to have a minimal retirement account set up, the taxes on which are deferred until retirement, anyway.
