Hello,
I recommend you check out http://www.fairtax.org. If you like the flat tax, then you should love the FairTax. Essentially, it is a 23% national retail sales tax on all new items. This proposal, which is in the house and senate as HR25/S25, will also abolish the I.R.S.
There is a very good book written on the subject that you would find useful.
Best,
