21. Aside from all of the other problems with the flat tax,
remember that the one we have now started out flat. If reducing complication is the real motive of the Repugs, they'd go to a sales-only tax, but it's not what they're really after.

Go with a flat tax and within five years half of that tax code comes right back - so much for "simplification." That's the same excuse Reagan gave us with TEFRA, wasn't it?
