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.

What current non-taxpayers "want" is irrelevant. They WILL pay something, if somebody like me gets to truly reform (read as "rewrite") the tax code.

At least with a flat tax rate and no deductions, there's no more class warfare. Everyone pays an equally "fair" share since everyone is paying the same proportional amount of their income. And there would be no barriers to continued growth or success built into the tax code.
