Or we could cut the federal budget in half and not have any federal income tax whatsoever, individual or corporate.

I prefer option B.
I very much like proposal A. Voting in America has lost its power and meaning. If only law-abiding citizens and citizens who pay their flat tax could vote, we wouldn't be voting these clowns into office to wreck our lives. That being said, we need to fix the mess we're in first.
