His economic adviser has already told him to drop the 9% sales tax part of the plan.

Yep, and his economic adviser wants to replace that 9% by adding it to the payroll taxes.
9% Flat tax plus 10% Chilean deduction Plus 9% new payroll tax = 28% payroll deductions. Wonderful idea ain't it?

Wonderful idea ain't it?

It's MY money, damnit!
