I have not yet seen a flat tax proposal that would realistically produce the same revenue that our current structure provides.

I'm a CPA, lean slightly to republican and I won't lose any sleep over the flat tax becoming a reality.

They should do a progressive tax, but no extra steps. No deductions, no difference in capital gains. Just a one step plug your total yearly income into a IRS website calculator and presto you're done. Would not necessary increase burden on certain income class, at least much.

All those bright future CPA's need to focus their talents to do something that actually produces something.

This is the major sticking point IMO. It's near impossible to do without raising taxes on the middle class.
