A flat tax disproportionately favors the rich and hurts the poor; a progressive tax is much, much more fair. A poor person making $2k a month can make more use of $200 to improve their lot vs what the person making $2M can do with $200k to improve theirs

You've missed the part where we've already removed -- no, inverted -- the progressive rate structure via benefits phase outs.
