A system can be developed that does not require excessive sales taxes. If given a blank slate as a starting point, the possibilities are endless and in many ways we can improve on our current system. Perhaps, as in the world cliches, it requires thinking outside of the box.

So, for discussion purposes, you cant produce a flat tax proposal that would not lower the tax obligation of the top tax payers at the expense of the middle and at the same time is revenue neutral at the rate proposed.
Ideologues such as yourself say it can be done and we should take in on faith that it will work and be fair.
Pragmatists like me say show me the money.
