Whether it's a flat tax, a consumption tax or ANY tax that is simple and consistent it will be better than what we have. Our current tax system is the gun that congress holds to the head of business to enforce their extortion/bribery racket.
For most of our (human) history we have had a government. I would posit that both are important to the other. I know we borrow now, but I think it might have to happen in far greater amounts if consumption is taxed. Or the other side could be that even in a recession we will have more money due to no income tax and may still consume at a level above where we would if there were an income tax and so any recession would be far less severe than one with an income tax.
I am trying to see both sides of this. I still lean towards a flat tax, but could probably be persuaded for either.

That I think is the major problem with our tax system. Congress uses it for power. Political control. Not for the welfare of the people.
WC-there you go again, exposing your ass again by ASSuming untrue things. I never blindly support people that I don't personally know.
I agree with the two of you (WC, CC) on that. I don't know that anyone could disagree on that.
I thought you didn't assume motives about people you don't personally know?
False choice, amazing consistency.
