Most of the big corporation pay zero tax each year. They have highly paid tax lawyers who most often get the big corporations a refund after making billions in revenue.
I remember HRC trashing Trump at a debate, she said Trump paid zero in taxes last year and Trump's response was, "so did all of your friends". "You, as a politician created the tax laws, if you don't like it, fix it."
A flat sales tax would pull in all the corporations to pay their fair share. It would eliminate all the tax loop holes that corporations take advantage of. With corporations paying their fair share, the people could pay less.
With a flat sales tax you could eliminate the IRS which cost over $12 Billion a year to fund. Eliminating the IRS is just the tip of the iceberg. Shutting down the CIA saves us another $15 billion, $102 Billion for Dept of Education, FEMA $29 Billion.
Here is Ron Paul saying we could eliminate 5 agencies and save $1 Trillion per year. I think Elon has invited Ron Paul to join his team.

If you get rid of all the corrupt, useless government waste (DOGE), make corporations pay their fair share, incorporate tariffs, the tax burden on the people will be dramatically reduced. The amount we pay in flat sale tax will be used to start this endeavor, slowly, over time, be reduced as things are fine tuned. Keep eliminating the size of government, wasteful spending, increasing tariffs until the entire amount needed for the government to function is in balance with the tariffs that are generated.
There may be some hiccoughs in the beginning but you have to remember, we have been in the current system for over 100 years, Eliminating income tax while balancing our government budget will take a few years of tweaking but have confidence Trump will do us right.
