I agree with many of your statements.  Which I shy I dont understand why you would want to put a flat tax on everyone.  Surely a poor person who spends most of his money on basic essentials shouldnt pay the same rate as a rich person who spends much of their money on frivolous items.

Everything outside of essentials is luxuray and therefore should be taxed at the same rate.

Hence a flat tax.

A flat tax doesnt take into account what people spend their money on.  If you wanted to reach your stated goal you would have to provide government funding solely through a sales tax system that exempted basic items such as food.
