That's one fairly weak argument you've got there.

In Adrian's defense, every outline for a proposed Flat Tax system I've seen doesn't actually tax folks & families at or near the poverty level. So it would be like our horribly Byzantine system is now in regards to that.
I think simplifying the tax code would be a wonderful goal. Hell, if a party would run, state or federal, on the sole purpose of reviewing every law on the relevant books & throwing out any outdated or unconstitutional laws, I'd vote for them in a split-second.
