If your country's tax rate became a flat % on all income, the same % regardless of the income of the person, what % would be ideal?

Anyone who chooses 0 clearly doesn’t want paved roads, street lights, clean parks, street signs, or any of the million other things that you enjoy without even noticing.

This is like asking me what color condom would be ideal for a rapist to wear.

2019 Federal Budget = $4.45T
2019 US GDP = $21.43T
With GDP as a very rough estimate for total income, that needs a ~20% flat tax to be fully funded.
Useful reference based on whether one thinks the govt should spend more or less.

you have to let low income people out of a tax, they say 23% is the rate to replace current taxes
