Yeah a flat tax would be nice. The trouble is that absolutely no politician in their right mind would put in place a system that can't be manipulated. Their very existence is tied to being able to control things. Plus I'm sure all the tax lawyers and accountants wouldn't exactly be pleased to have a system that no longer needs their services. Then you have the "social engineers" who want to transform behavior through tax incentives and penalties.
