I object to the flat tax:

It is unfair to the poor; eliminating the Earned Income Tax Credit [hurts] taxpayers at the lowest rungs of the ladder.
It is unfair to workers by taxing them for health insurance and other benefits.
Only the wealthy would reap a windfall, because a flat tax would allow them to cash in interest payments and capital gains without paying personal income taxes.
I don’t believe that a flat tax could raise enough revenue to keep the government operating.

-- Donald Trump

this worked better before donald trump's tax plan turned out to be basically the same as jeb!'s
