You're just wrong. I don't know how to say it politely.

Most flat income tax schemes get around this by having some way of
exempting a big chunk of the bottom income. If the tax is on
consumption, you really can't do that as easily.



So, then it's not a flat tax. You can make almost anything work if you work
at it.
