“These days it would be unrealistic to go all the way to a flat tax. But you can use it as a guide to figure out how you’re going to simplify taxes.”

Rudy G

I’m unclear where this is bad. After the current crews energy bill...farm bill and highway bill which added untold pages to the tax system and subsidized wealthy conglomerates like ADM and Cargill for boondoggles like ethanol ...using the flat tax as a model is a bad thing?

He’s acknowledging the truth...you could never fully implement it. But at least he’s working on it. Geeez hit him on social issues but give him some credit for doing something good

Who said he was wrong? I don’t support the flat tax. But you said Rudy supported the flat tax, and he doesn’t. I wouldn’t have actually bothered, but someone else told you it was wrong, and you doubted them and asked for proof, so I gave it to you.

That’s the only reason I posted it, to support the charge of the other poster. I don’t post stuff like that that I agree with just to attack a candidate I don’t like, it’s unseemly to me to attack someone for agreeing with me.

If I were to support something, it would probably be the fair tax, but I’d have to see the implementation. I also would like to study a VAT, although most conservatives fear it because it’s so easy to hide.
