If any here agree with a flat tax or Cains 999 or a variation of either then you really have nothing to complain about with what is in this story.
I read it and unless I missed something nowhere does it say anything about a tax RATE increase. It talks about a REFORM of the tax code which is EXACTLY what the flat tax would be.
I don’t see anything about moving to a flat tax.
What I see is a tax increase.
They’re not reforming the tax code - its just sucking money out of the productive sector of the economy and giving it to the government.
Both parties want to rape and tell us its for own good. But it hurts more when Republicans are doing because they’ve said for years we should shrink government in Washington.
They’re doing the exact opposite of what they told voters they would do.
They seem to forget why they lost their House majority in 2006.
Is this a flat tax? no. Not the same.
You hit the nail on the head. It’s a GOOD THING to eliminate deductions and LOWER rates. We’re increasing revenues by increasing the TAX BASE.
