With a flat tax concept, YES THE POOR WOULD PAY. There is nothing wrong with this.

If the Democrat ran on a campaign that he/she was going to raise your monthly tax bill by $400 or $500 a month then would you vote for them?

On the other hand, millions and millions of people would benefit from paying hundreds of dollars less in taxes every month.

The way your question is worded, no I would not.

However if the question is reworded to fit what Carson said, in my particular case, as well as most mid-income Americans, my tax would likely be lowered or remain the same.

Our current tax system just sucks. Many deductions simply should not exist. I know a guy 66 years old with a negative net worth of a couple hundred thousand that pays thousands of dollars in interest every year he brags about deducting. This fellow is in debt because he is a spendahaulic. He brags of collecting 4 huge checks, civil service retirement, military retirement, disability and social security. I would love to see people like this taxed at my rate.
