you

Truth is, sure looks like the wealthiest 1% are not paying 42%
of all
of
governments costs, and sure looks like the top 19% are not
paying half of governments costs, until that happens they are
NOT paying their
fair
share ... a flat tax can fix that ...

I already said the tax data is at irs.gov
Now, as for a flat tax I agree with you 100%. The one I advocate
is the FairTax.
That is not a flat tax, it is a sales tax.
It's a sales tax but it is flat. It's a flat 23%.
You had better spend some time learning what a flat tax is.
I'm perfectly familiar with a flat tax. The FairTax is a replacement
for the income tax. It uses a flat 23% as the revenue generator.
Call it what you will, the FairTax is a winner.

I think the flat tax is great.
I assume you mean Fair Tax, since that is the proposal to get all taxes
from sales or use. The term in common use today for flat tax is on
income.
And, once implemented, all other taxes are dropped. These other taxes
being drivers licenses, contracting licences, cell phone fees/charges
(except for ACTUAL service charges) , property taxes, use taxes,
excise taxes, fuel taxes, all other sales taxes, etc., etc.
Or, simply, ONE TAX PERIOD!
Yep, and that means that the wealthy and the poor pay the same taxes
rather than the wealthy paying more. Do you know what problem you are
trying to fix? According to your statements, it is to get the wealthy to
pay more. There is no way to do that with a sales or use tax.
Even the morons will then realize what they actually pay in taxes
(which is about 40% - 50% of their incomes, or more.)
That part has some truth in it.
