Single tax rate – The Gordian Knot solution

I have been toying with the idea that we should go for a single rate tax not because it is a smart way to tax but it is what Alexander the Great would do. The current law is so complex that untangling it is likely impossible so let’s  ditch all of it , go to a single rate with no loopholes and see what happens. I am sure there a details to work out but hey its worth a shot  and is better than anything happening right now.
