If you collect more taxes with a flat 15% on everyone than with 14-70% "progressively", all else being equal, the high earners must currently all (or mostly) be paying just 14%. Is that true?
Hence, enforcing the high earners to pay 15% (instead of 14%) is just reducing the tax load on low earners by increasing it for high earners, no?

Not if you’re factoring in economic growth from reducing frictions and other distortions.
