You just can't expect everyone to be able to handle college... or have the ambition (or the possibilites, which is the more common block. Its not like all people can afford it even with loans...) to do that...
And a flat tax sounds fair but its not. Its not fair to the middle and lower classes... and is very generous to the rich. It sounds good - "same amount"... but it doesn't work out that way. In the end, the poor and a significant part of the middle class would end up with higher taxes while the rich would be much better off... and this country should not be in the business of making the least needy people -- the rich -- allowed to get more and more money while the rest of the people struggle.
