If the cartels could buy a President of Mexico for $100 million, why could they not also buy an anti-Wall position by a party in the USA..?

Keep dreaming.
Flat tax is an improvement but fair tax is better.
Draining a swamp is like eliminating vanities of FR.
As fast as you scoop it out, it just drains back in.
I want a flat tax with no deductions. Same for corporate taxes.
You pay tax on your gross earnings and corporations pay tax on their gross revenues.
No deductions. No cheats.
And no taxation that discriminates against income that didn’t come from a paycheck.
All income should get taxed at the same rate.
Also, no charitable deductions including churches. You should pay your tithe honestly and not expect a kickback from the government.
No cheats, no deals, just pay the amount due and be done with it.
About half of what the federal government does is unconstitutional. The federal government gets about half of its revenue from income tax.
Seems like a wash to me, repeal the 16th Amendment!
Please check out the “Federalist Letters to Corporate America” in my blog at the url in my signature block.
The issue isn’t flat or graduated, you are talking about deductions that don’t necessarily go with one and not the other.
But we are so far gone. Guv needs to be a sliver the size it is now. And basically everyone high in the judiciary, bureaucracy and politics all have to go, as well as many, many laws that protect them.
I liked Steve Forbes, the flat tax candidate. I hope he is doing ok, wherever he is.
It might work, so it will not happen.
Never happen. The socialist wannabe communists are the future for our ignorant, stupid, brain-washed millenials.
Of course you’re right, but The Swamp will never vote to abolish itself in that way. We need to stop the Socialist rescals by ending their influence. I favor iron handed action and the explosion of Alinsky’s tactics and methods. Turnabout doesn’t always have to be fair play. My watch words for the future may become intransigence and ordnance.
“A flat tax system would eliminate this legal bribery.”
A flat tax is a bad idea and will never pass. It is regressive against low-income people.
A consumption tax is a much better idea, and would allow the complete elimination of the IRS from regular folks lives.
NO income tax is best.
