FLAT TAX is....17% income tax...everyone, no loopholes.

The Flat Tax also retains the oppressive IRS and its 67,000+ page tax code. The Fair Tax will also eliminate loopholes and abolish the IRS.

All well and good, but what about the 16th Amendment? Without repeal we still have that monster lurking over us and I feel as though the NRST would just become another layer in the federal leviathan.

No it doesn't. The Flat Tax can be filed on a single sheet of paper. The IRS would be downsized drastically.

The Fair Tax will also eliminate loopholes and abolish the IRS.

The Fair Tax won't simultaneously repeal the 16th Amendment though. Sorry, I don't want to pay 2 tiers of taxes. And the IRS will still exist in one form or another. Who's going to collect the money? States and businesses are opposed to the Fair Tax because they don't want to collect money for the Feds and not get reimbursed.
