One thing folks seem to forget -- the federal income tax was put into the Constitution by the 16th Amendment. Before we substitue a Flat Tax or whatever other tax, you have to repeal the 16th Amendment. Otherwise the damned politicians will hit you with an income tax AND a flat tax (or other tax) on the rest of your income. Greedy bastards they are, one and all.

Not if you're just talking about replacing the current progressive rate tax on income with a flat rate tax on income.
