Rubio is right to advise that, with any flat-tax, Republicans should press for a supermajority-vote requirement in the House and Senate to raise the rate.
“That would take a constitutional amendment, and I think the chances of that happening are next to zero.”
Correct. And with the progressive GOPe intact a super majority vote would easily be accomplished anyway to RAISE taxes, whether a Democrat majority or Republican majority in Congress.
To bring any of these tax systems on line would take three or four consecutive non-establishment type presidencies and incredible cooperation in a Congress that is in serious need of a purge.
“To bring any of these tax systems on line would take three or four consecutive non-establishment type presidencies and incredible cooperation in a Congress that is in serious need of a purge” Wholeheartedly agree.
prioritizing the huge agenda in front of the next President is going to be the hardest thing. 0bama spent his capital on 0bmacare...and poisoned the well for the country and any further cooperation. The next one in office is going to have a huge mess to unravel domestically, and even that will go on back burner if something unforeseen happens on the Defense front.
