The Republicans HAVE in the past proposed a "Flat Tax" or "Consumption Tax" plan more than once, but the also know it's not passable with 80% of the voting public who would probably take the brunt of it - It would be suicide for McCain to even propose it.
Again, it's pretty obvious that some additional taxation is going to have to occur (no matter what both parties say - it's going to effect EVERYONE one way or another). My concern is that we 1) don't go hog wild in thinking the 'evil rich' should pay for it all, and 2) We not dig ourselves deeper into the hole on socialist programs (free health care, benefit programs for those 'not contributing to society' etc.)
