Really, until we get our financial situation more balanced, it can't happen. We would have to:

  • Have a flat tax with no exceptions for anyone for any reason. Corporations included.
  • Get rid of private health insurance and go with single payer

Even if something like that could happen, and I sincerely doubt that it will ever happen, there would be a lot of problems. None of them are insurmountable except for greed.

Flat taxes are inherently regressive.

Anyone that clamors for flat taxes are either stupid and heard it once in some college class or is rich enough to ignore it.

Sales tax and Sin taxes punish the poor, not the rich.
