For personal income taxes?
I guess since whenever I first heard about it.
That was so long ago that I can't really remember when it was.
But a flat rate that applies to everybody has always seemed more fair than any "progressive" or "regressive" rates that various partisan special interests try to finagle.
What happened to your proposal to substitute import duties for corporate income taxes? Have you finally given up on that?
No, I still support a revenue tariff as well.
It is ALSO a flat rate system as well, with no exceptions favoring or disfavoring any particular industry or nation.
I also still advocate reducing government spending and balancing the budget.
It's a multi-pronged agenda that's fiscally responsible.
I'm not gullible enough to fall for that foolish, oversimplifed snake-oil panacea that you're shilling.
"No, I still support a revenue tariff as well.

I am betting the WTO and our trading partners wouldn't look at it so benevolently. Never mind that you could never raise the rate high eneough to replace corporate income taxes without imports drying up - which would mean ZERO in revenues. IOW, there is no revenue neutral way to do what you are proposing.
Did you say something about "snake-oil"?
"I also still advocate reducing government spending and balancing the budget."
Don't we all. You simply think the best way to get there is with an income tax system which hides the true cost of government from the masses.
