Default lifting tail

Why don't airplanes with high lift wings (like flat bottom trainers) have lifting/airfoil horizontal stabs. I would think ifthelift and tail momentwhere calculated correctly once the elevator is trimmed, the plane would fly level at any airspeed, above stall of course. I would think it would make a more stable plane which is idea behind a trianer.
