In general, I am against any changes in any tax systems because no matter how they are promoted by the time they get implemented we always end up paying more taxes in the end.
Folks support them because they imagine that they will benefit from the change, of course, it just never seems to work out in the end.

I'm not looking for a financial benefit from flat tax. I can afford the taxes I pay and could afford to pay higher taxes. No big deal.
What is a big deal to me is that the current system is dishonest and unfair. It is dishonest because it provides loopholes for the few. It is unfair because, even if there were no loopholes, it does not tax in proportion to income.
I like this guy's perspective:
