I would love to tell you that I support the flat tax, but I do not. In a District like the 51st, it will absolutely devastate the community. Also, the flat tax will produce tax revenue than the current system. I believe balancing the budget, and paying off the debt is a bigger priority. Down the road, after that is accomplished, I would revisit this issue because I am not against the flat tax on principal, just the effect.
In modern political parlance when folks say “flat tax” they are generally referring to a flat income tax.
The FairTax is a national retail sales tax that is designed to eliminate and replace all other current forms of federal taxation.
Just to clarify: You don’t support the latter?
