With a good grassroots effort, we can do this. The biggest obstacle we
face is
the attitutde that it can't be done.

You also face the flat tax places an unfair burden on the poor who can
not afford to pay the same percent as those in a higher income
bracket.

The flat tax doesn't even kick in until something like a $25,000 income
level.

If it does it's not a flat tax.
Also at $25,000 you are still talking individuals who can not afford
to spare a dime.

The marginal rate is flat, and that is the important part. Also it gets rid of
the credit/deduction part of the tax code, which is the difficult part.

Today's, "taxable income" yes, but not a plain income and if it deals
that way, again it's not a flat tax.

A tax system should include all income, including things like munis and
section 8 housing vouchers.
