You wrote: "My objection is this- Time has proven that if you leave Congress a tool by which to manipulate the people with regards to money, they will use it. The FF's plan as you describe it leaves that ability open.

The FT treats EVERY one exactly the same."

ANSWER:

Is that so? What is the definition of income in your flat tax?

How does the founding father's direct apportioned tax among the states allow Congress to manipulate such a tax?

Fact is, taxing income is a tool of despotic governments, and used to tax by economic class via the definition of income.

Misunderstanding. By FT I was refering to the Fair Tax not the Flat Tax. The Flat Tax would be better than what we have but it still leaves to much room for manipulation.
