Flat tax is an improvement but fair tax is better.
Absolutely wrong! I'd be for the Fair Tax if it wasn't for the "prebate". That's the equivalent of a welfare payment to low income earners. Once you put that in, you open the door for politicians to play dangle-the-carrot again. Get rid of the prebate and I'd support it, with the understanding that the income tax goes away.
Recently, Indiana has almost a 4x increase in property taxes and there was a state-wide rebellion. The politicians said: "Ok, we'll roll the property taxes back to their original levels (plus 2%) if you'll give us a 1% increase in sale taxes." It took then 6 weeks to change the sales tax figures and over 3 years to adjust the property tax levels. Canada accepted a VAT tax with the promise that the income tax would go away. Canadians are now paying both. If you're going to seriously consider this route, you better make the law airtight!
The best would be a combination of a 20% import tariff and a fair tax.

If we had a "Thumbs Up" option, you'd get a big fat one from me.
I agree. Fair tax should be the ultimate goal.
