There actually is a flat tax that has been in design and research phase for a long time. MANY of the state senators are supporting it. There is of course some revamping to do, but I for one agree with it. As I have read, and don't take this as the Gospel here, but just as non-processed food is not taxed now, it wont be later. If you are buying luxury items, the tax basis will be slightly higher. So those "poor families with lots of kids" will actually be pretty safe, considering most of the money spent by them is on food. There STILL will be a welfare and foodstamp system in place to help, so they won't be hurt financially like you might think. A flat tax system is actually designed to even out the playing field, where the poor get taxed LESS and the rich get taxed MORE (due of course to amount of spending they do) I am not saying the system is without flaws, but is our current one any better? lol
