Sure, it could be.

Or it could be that many don't buy into the fuzzy math.

In any case, I dont think the "bullshit" claim would explain the lack of support for a flat tax over the last 80+ years.

In the end, it could be that many believe that as one's income increases, one should contribute a greater proportion of that income to the public expense.
