They “support” Flat and Fair Tax plans, now maybe they will provide details, Cruz has nothing on his website, Carson has no plan just says he is against what we now have and Huckster has no details on his Fair Tax Plan not even the rate. So great let’s rid ourselves of the IRS and high taxation with a Flat or Fair Tax but until any of them give details on ‘their’ plan it is just politicking.
If you are saying Trump’s plan is “progressive” and that it “soaks the rich” maybe you could provide details to back that up, otherwise aren’t you just politicking too?
Trump’s plan is much much better than what we have now and it is not just smoke and mirrors politicking.
Trump's plan is progressive - it has 4 rates that increase as your income goes up. That is the definition of a progressive income tax. And Trump has said repeatedly that one of his goals is to eliminate loopholes and deductions used by the wealthy to make them pay more in taxes. Trump is not going to claim that the wealthy will pay less in taxes - if that happens, then the difference would have to be made up by the middle class. His plan lowers rates, but eliminates deductions, causing a much higher portion of income to be taxed - resulting in a net tax increase on the wealthy.
