[Saint Reagan]

How hard it is for everyone to pay a fixed percent. Much the same way Christians are to give 10% of their earnings in a tithe. If everyone had to pay a set percent it would be fair to everyone.

Not quite. A flat tax would not be ideal for the following reasons:

1. It's very easy to change a "flat" tax so it's no longer flat.
2. Money has no intrinsic value until it is spent. Taxing consumption makes more sense than taxing savings.
3. Americans overseas would no longer be required to pay US taxes while they enjoy no services of the government (embassies charge a fortune for every little service they provide!)
4. Foreigners (including illegals) in America would pay taxes like everybody else.
5. The IRS would cease to exist and people wouldn't need to file tax returns.
6. And so on...

Correction: As I’m sure you noticed, points 2-6 refer to the benefits of implementing a FAIR TAX (as opposed to the FLAT TAX).
