I don’t ever see the media talking about a flat tax as a good idea.
People in poverty would be fucked by it.
Steve Forbes tried to be President on a flat tax platform two decades ago and got absolutely roasted for it by everyone.
I remember when it was all the rage during the Ron Paul era. Took a while to get through to people why it's a terrible idea.
