Put in a poverty line, and anything above that line gets taxed at one uniform rate. No bracket creep. Simple - anyone who can do elementary math will know what to pay. No complex accounting.

I have wanted a flat tax for years but we will never have one because we have too many leaches that don't want to pay any taxes and live off the middle class and rich.
If that bum Obama ever voted for a flat tax he would lose 3/4 of the people that voted for him because all of a sudden they would have to contribute something and that sure as hell would never happen.
