re: The Flat Tax

The strongest argument against the flat tax I have heard is it hurts the poor the most. Since they spend the majority of their income on extraneous items, they would be taxed at a higher rate than others since middle- and upper-class do not spend as much of their income percentage wise.
This argument to me is weak, though. I believe the elimination of the IRS would be simple and more fair. Also, people would feel safer knowing that April 15th is not some fricked up surprise.

Maybe they'll learn to live within their means and not buy shite they can't afford.
