Well, if you want to put a lot of people in poverty by a flat tax without adjustments for those that have more children and are only making minimum wages, then it would be simple, but definitely not fair. Also income that is not reported is not taxed. Too much opportunity to cheat.
say at 40K from that point on anything over 40K is 10% or 14% it doesn't
matter the first 40K is free; however, after that 40K it the same for all. If we
made the tax base 100% so everyone pays their fair share, then no one would
ever say we need more taxes without a damn good reason. As it is now the
tax base is so small those that don't pay don't care.
