Bermuda has no income tax and works on a consumption tax instead. But most of their products are imported and there is more control. If you try that here before you know it a large portion of the population will move to the barter system to avoid paying tax and it will be the wealthy that will exploit it more. Also, what will shock people will be the sticker price of the items you purchase. I've never been a fan of a flat tax but if you want to be fair remove all deductions and have everyone pay one set percentage.
