You mean like - fresh fruits and vegetables, meats that come from reasonable sources that can pass a health and safety inspection and are kept in proper conditions so they don't rot after a day in the household's fridge? You mean - things like the electric bill so that you have heat in the winter and at least a couple of window air conditioners in the summer? You mean - the cost of materials to repair your house after flood damage that isn't covered by substandard insurance? Or the hammer you have to buy, to make those repairs, because you can't afford a contractor or even a handyman? And the crappy internet service to provide you with a manual on your low-end smartphone on how to fix that house, because you can't afford a computer with this flat tax (AND the state fees imposed because they have to fund the cost of collecting that tax and passing it on to the feds)?
Those kinds of flat taxes? And which poor people will be able to afford these flat taxes? What will the percentage be?
