I strongly oppose a flat tax. Now if we were to reduce tax rates for everybody along with spending cuts, I might be open to that. But anything more is a non-starter with me.
Can someone tell me what the national sales tax rate is? I didn't even know we had one. I would not support reducing that either. We have a robust national healthcare system and it's fair that everyone chip in for that.
There is not a general national sales tax. There are excise taxes on a few items such as gas, alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, etc.
