And also - several million people who are currently not paying any income tax are going to be added back onto the tax rolls.

Good. We are not going to have much support on cutting spending until EVERY American is paying federal taxes.

If I had my way, federal income tax would be a flat rate, starting with the first dollar, like SS taxes are.

Agreed - a low, flat rate would be preferable, along with a larger taxpayer base and elimination of the wasteful, economically-distorting abomination that our tax code has become. Plus, by giving more people “skin in the game” - you’d naturally create a much larger constituency for limited government spending.
