you're removing a source of baseline funding for the govt which effectively makes it unstable, one bad year and many govt services go underfunded
That's not even remotely close to accurate. In the US states that predominantly fund their governments through sales taxes (like Texas & Florida), they have far more stable revenue streams than states that rely on the income tax (like New Jersey). When the last recession hit, NJ had a terrible time making up for lost revenues from their bankers. Texas had no such problem with consumption.

In my view, flat tax is strong corporation favoritism.
Which ones are getting the special favors?
