I don't want to derail this thread more than it already has been, but any flat tax is a bad deal for working and middle class people. They either bare more of the tax burden, overall revenue goes down, or both. Flat taxes are appealing for those who believe in trickle down economics or those who like simple ideas that are easy to wrap one's head around.
The notion that introducing a flat tax would solve the problem of companies that want to exploit the tax system struck me as quite odd. These are the people that are responsible for the highest drug prices on earth, and our response to them trying to cheat the system that allows them to exist is to help them out even further?
