Why do we need the fair tax plan to create a flat rate, when the graph in this chart shows that the rate is already pretty flat? Today, most people pay between 22 and 28% taxes.

And the wealthy have moved their income address to a tax free state, saving them an additional 6-12%.

Whereas the poor can't move without losing their job. Yeah, this chart is federal only, but state taxes are also an issue, certainly.
