The National University System was established in 2001 to meet the emerging challenges and demands of education in the 21st century. The System is uniquely aligned to connect a diverse population of students to a network of innovative educational programs that are relevant to their lives, careers, and the marketplace and are delivered in a format that respects competing life priorities.

Answer: Yes
The simplicity, fairness and transparency of a flat tax system are vastly preferable to the current monstrosity. Ending the widespread and corrupt practice of inserting loopholes and preferences into the tax code for politically connected entities would be a much more equitable system for everyone. Eliminating deductions, shelters, exemptions, and other distortions in the tax code that upper-income taxpayers far more often utilize could actually generate more revenues. Stronger incentives for productive behavior would also result from lower taxes on work, savings, investment, and entrepreneurship, with decisions made on the basis of good economics rather than clever tax planning.
