"Dr. Carson, you advocate a flat tax of 10% to 15% or more with no deductions. Because of deductions and tax credits, an average family of four earning around $48000 a year pay no income taxes. Many more pay less than 15% of their income in taxes. For the majority of Americans who's taxes you will be raising, what do you say to them to convince them they should still vote for you?
Well aren’t you the good little Marxist.
Simple answer: raise the standard deduction already in existence so people don’t pay tax on the first $50,000 (or pick a number) they earn.
“For the majority of Americans who’s taxes you will be raising,...”
That would be “whose taxes ...” You’re welcome!
