I never suggested that the system should be optimized for the < 10% path. I was simply pointing out that the current IRS culture is not based upon accurate accounting. They seem to "accidentally" make errors in their favor, and then send notices out to taxpayers.

I am all for a flat tax. It would be fair and easy.

I dispute your suggestion that IRS culture tends to make errors accidentally in their favor. First, it is not my experience at all. To me it just sounds like lemons.
