    Except that it can actually reduce the revenuea that go to government.

    Besides a flat tax results in those earning more paying more.

    A taxable (after allowances) income of £10,000 at 20% tax means a £2,000 tax bill
    A taxable (after allowances) income of £100,000 at 20% tax means a £20,000 tax bill

    That is fair and it does not discourage hard works and economic growth - result more revenue for government overall.

If he worked 5 days a week he could ear a whole lot more and employ more people but wont do so because why should he when over 40% of the extra income he would get is taken in tax.
