Name one conservative President who pushed and or passed a flat tax? None did because it is not possible to pass it as we live in the real world after all. They all pushed for reductions in the current tax rates. However the conservative Presidents did not introduce a new tax such as Cain national tax and that new tax is exactly what we called Liberalism, in fact it is at the heart of Liberalism. How can a person who claims to be conservative introduce a new tax? How can someone who claims to be conservative support a new tax?

Now is there is rule on Free Republic stating that members must support flat tax? I am not aware of it. Is there a rule on Free Republic stating that members must support a new tax such as national sales tax? I am not aware of it. Please let me know if these rules exist.

Name every conservative President in the last 100 years. Ronaldus Magnus has a democrat controlled congress so it was amazing what he did manage to get passed.

However the conservative Presidents did not introduce a new tax such as Cain national tax and that new tax is exactly what we called Liberalism, in fact it is at the heart of Liberalism.

So Cain's plan, which eliminates the IRS, eliminates the corporate loop holes that stifle competition, eliminates the thousands deductions and penalties and socialist tricks which Congress uses to mandate our behavior, removes the unjust, crippling and evil FICA tax and makes everyone a participant in government is liberal. Yet your plan to tinker with the status quo which is leading us to ruin is conservative?

Now is there is rule on Free Republic stating that members must support flat tax?

No, it just makes it easier to see who truly supports the fundamentals of our system and who is just along for the ride.

Is there a rule on Free Republic stating that members must support a new tax such as national sales tax?

The "new tax" meme is getting old. Cain wants our tax burden reduced to three simple areas. You want to keep twenty. I'll take the new put in by conservatives. You stick with the old designed by Marx.
