A flat tax on the rich may actually end up making them pay more in taxes since all deductions would pretty much axed.
Also, I sincerely hope that you are opposed to the idea of fat taxes or value added taxes being implemented.

The only place I know with VAT - UK - provides way more in services not just to the poor but to the average person. So yes, I'm anti-VAT just the same way I'm anti flat tax in the US. Change up our entire system and I might feel differently. Arguing that other things are ALSO BAD doesn't change the fact that the flat tax is BAD.
And again I'll trust Warren on the rich people's taxes.
