I don’t think I’ve seen “too complicated” comments for flat tax but there are regressive tax complaints about flat tax. My state is essentially a flat tax (there are small increases at $1000 and $2500 and completely flat after that). A higher tax rate for someone in my income bracket doesn’t materially affect me as much (I will still eat just as well) as it does someone making 1/10 my income (who may be scraping by and occasionally not eating). The argument is that if my taxes were increased to lower taxes further down the income brackets it would make it easier for lower income taxpayers to get by.
