One good thing if true...EVERYONE pays 35% tax, one page form. Everyone has skin in the game.
Imagine if we had a similar tax system? The IRS would be 1000 employees instead of 79,000.

France is a welfare state. Not EVERYONE pays 35%.. Only those who work. The parasites pay nothing.
VAT, yes. And it keeps going up.
Did Macron pay his 35% or has he reduced his reported exposure (visibility) to the tax collector?
I did my personal taxes recently. Due to Obamacare I messed up and had to reconcile. I was never sent a form 1095-a from the marketplace, which the IRS requested. The marketplace refused to let me get my 1095-a easily.
I also had to fill out a 8962, it was 2 pages long, but the instructions were 18 pages long.
Over two months of healthcare from the marketplace. Pathetic, will never use it again.
My problem exactly with Republican tax plans. On the whole, I totally totally totally agree that taxes to the feds should be LOW.
Spending, at the federal level, should be for CONSTITUTIONAL reasons. The welfare state at the federal level should be eliminated. States, if they think their people need welfare, are free to distribute any tax monies they collect.
*But* when it comes to federal taxes (and, in my state) if ONE THING would help EVERYONE care about the way government operates would be if ALL CITIZENS paid *something*.
And I agree that it ought to be a percentage of one’s income—on an even basis.
Ben Carson’s analogy of 10% to the LORD is a good one (I know others have used it). But look, pick the percentage—20%? If you earn $1000 a year, you pay $200 to the gubmint. If you earn $10,000 a year, you pay $2000.
And so on.
Even the poor would pay attention to the waste, the unfair distribution of monies to those unwilling to work AND those who are crony capitalists. Welfare at both ends of the economic spectrum will kill the working person.
