I think in the end, the flat tax I proposed is only a partial solution. The ultimate solution is still this:

FairTax

It would save something like over 90% of the yearly compliance and economic opportunity costs of the income tax, which has reached a frightening US$1 TRILLION in 2014. Can you imagine over US$900 billion per year freed up for more productive use like growing a business?

Exactly!

How much does it cost to collect $1 of tax ( Including the the government, businesses, and individual)?

That cost is an enormous drag on the economy. It is not only money it costs to collect the tax but the **time** it takes for the citizen to comply. That time would also be a boost to the economy.
