Suppose the United States were to convert its tax system from an income tax to a flat

Question:

Suppose the United States were to convert its tax system from an income tax to a flat tax. For individuals, there would be no itemized deductions allowed, a high standard exemption (thus low income taxpayers would not have to file returns), and tax exemptions for and interest income. Businesses could deduct all expenditures on salaries and immediately expense asset acquisition costs.
