Yes, but you have your whole pay check to pay the tax with. When was the last time you actually got to bring your whole check home?

I don’t owe the IRS. I’ve been self employed most of my life. I don’t relate to your point. The tax system needs an overhaul granted, but a flat tax does not work in situations related to housing and other high dollar transactions IMO.
