Sure, from the standpoint of your political ideology it is. But I'm pretty sure this is just bias. I suspect that intelligent people versed in tax policy and educational policy and a dozen other relevant fields of thought could disagree about the relative merits of having universal access to post-secondary, and altering the structure of government spending such that it could run on a skeleton budget.
Both likely have benefits and drawbacks. You might be right that the flat tax proposal has fewer benefits and more drawbacks; I really don't know. It's fairly academic to discuss that, though, because as I said... pipe dreams of the left and right respectively.
