"The left will say a flat tax is an assault on the poor."

 

 

 

There never will be a tax plan proposed by a conservative the liberals will not claim is an assault on the poor and a dozen other reasons they will come up with none of which would be true, it is built into the liberal agenda; the only good tax plan is a progressive liberal tax plan, that's just the way it has always been and always will be.

That may be part of beauty of the plan. In a sense, it is a progressive tax thanks to the $36,000 exemption for couples filing jointly.

If you make $36K a year or less, your effective tax rate is zero, and you would pay no taxes.

If you make $60K per year, after the $36K exemption, your effective tax rate is 4%, and you would pay $2,400 in taxes.

If you make $600K per year, after the $36K exemption, your effective tax rate is 9.4%, and you would pay $56,400 in taxes.

The poor would pay less and at a lower effective tax rate, those making more would pay more and at a higher effective tax rate.

The claim of this tax plan being an assault on the poor can very easily disproven.

Of course, this is just for our information, for some strange reason, basic math seems to escape the average liberal mind.
