Could you expand upon your definition of flat tax?
Is, for example, the constant amount of money you mention the same of every member of the populace regardless of income?
If so, it bears semblance with the UK's poll tax (or Community Charge as it was officially labelled), an early 90's tax which was disastrously received (riots in the streets across the country).
It introduced by a right wing government, and subsequently repealed

Yes. > If so, it bears semblance with the UK's poll tax (or Community Charge as it was officially labelled), an early 90's tax which was disastrously received (riots in the streets across the country). I didn't know about it, but it's exactly how I imagined it would turn out in reality.
