i agree entirely that any kind of redistribution of funds is wrong. forced charity has become a pervasive and evil part of modern society.
however, if there ARE going to be various robbery taxes, i don't think a flat tax is where it should be.
a very good libertarian friend of mine helped me with this.
if you're poor, you can't pay.
applying the same tax throughout means that it must be low enough for the lowest income bracket to pay.
one can, in effect, slide it up along the spectrum- and still ensure everyone pays.
