I forget what it is but Hillary has something

As for the "fair" tax nobody argues that it isn't simple. They oppose it because its progressive taxation the other way (taxes the poor more than the rich instead of our current model which taxes the rich more than the poor).

If you can come up with a tax that is that simple while still being progressive you might really have something.
Not really talking about the tax rate. That's an entirely different problem. I'm talking about the way that you interact with the IRS so that whatever the tax laws are you may use technology to enhance the lines of communication, and protect the American citizen.
