Flat tax across the board says everyone pays the same percentage. And, that's how is should be....everyone, not just those that make more than X amount, EVERYONE contributes their fair share.

Consumption Tax would work too. I used to be a huge proponent of the Flat Tax (again, assuming everyone pays), but now I'm leaning towards the Consumption Tax because it gives the people better control over their own money.

Sure, someone will point out how a Consumption Tax will create a "black market" for more things than there already is, but there are always going to be those that get around the system.

Either way, Flat Tax or Consumption Tax, it's better than what we do now.
