A flat tax would also remove a lot of corruption from the system. With respect to jobs, if companies are moving out because of high taxes and cheaper labor, lower, easier taxes would keep those companies in the states along with their capital to reinvest and thus more jobs.

Somebody has to connect the dots on how a lower tax would create jobs. We now have the lowest tax rate in 50 years and the highest unemployment. GE, paying zero taxes, is still exporting jobs. Obama said 8% unemployment. He was wrong. What % does the flat taxers say by the first midterm? ‘Jobs will be created in the long run’ is just political rhetoric.
