Let’s make the tax rate 13% across the board for everything over $25k (indexed for inflation). No deductions, not tax breaks for anyone.

TERRIBLE IDEA. Grossly stupid, and congress would increase the flat rate every chance they got.

What is to stop them from raising the Fair Tax rates or hiding other taxes in the cost? Unless there is a constitutional amendment to set the rate at some percentage with no exceptions, Congress WILL make exceptions for “favored” companies (read that companies who bribe the congressmen with “campaign donations”) and they will tinker to make it “more fair”.
