It would on the corporate taxes. Many large corporations pay very little fed tax.

Lowering the corporate rates from over 40% to 10% would cut revenue overall. Additionally, corporations can move offshore.

Here’s the math on taxes:
2013 GDP: 16.8 Trillion Dollars
2013 Federal Government spending: 3.5 Trillion Dollars
2013 Gvt. spending as a percent of GDP: 20.83 percent

The absolute tax rate on every dollar of economic activity in the US would have to be 20.8% to balance the budget.

Perhaps the rate can be lowered a bit by double taxing dividends. Ten percent is a pipe dream.
