Maybe a flat tax isn't such a good idea after all...

My uncle actually pointed this out the other day, he said he was inspired by Herman Cain's 9-9-9 plan. You see in a flat tax system, let's say you have a 9-9-9 plan, what is to stop the devious liberals from turning that into a 10-10-10 plan or a 11-11-11 plan? You know the liberals are going to find some sort of way to force their big government agenda on the American people, so they're going to try to use our own tax system against us and subsequently, against the American people. Eventually we're going to be like the European socialists and have a 90-90-90 plan, or worse. As an alternative, my uncle proposed the idea of a national sales tax to replace all other taxes, granted sales tax would be a bit higher, but this combined with cutting spending massively would put America back on track. If people received the income that they were supposed to receive, but didn't thanks to income tax, then they would spend more. Anyone have any thoughts or comments?
