What’s crazy?
It says your option is to pay taxes under the current tax code, OR to pay them under the Perry flat tax plan. Pick the one that you pay least under.
It doesn’t say paying taxes, period, is optional.
Okay, smartass.
I’ve been waiting for a flat tax for 30 years. In my book, a flat tax is just that, a flat tax. Period! You either have a flat tax or you don’t. The options of either choosing to stay with what you have now, or going with a 20% flat tax sounds crazy. I’ll wait for the details tomorrow and then evaluate some expert analysis before totally condemning it. Right now, this doesn’t look good at all.
