It would be HUGE for a sitting President to call for a flat tax, or something similiar!!

Get rid of the IRS, the whole culture of accountants, CPAs, tax attoneys and all the other leaches who write the laws, enforce the laws, get rich from administering the laws. it isa HUGE racket.

It would take a super human effort to lift the yolk of IRS Tax industry opression!

But we can keep our fingers crossed!!

He will never call for it, and the history he and his family have in keeping promises, it will never take hold in his lifetime.

a flat tax is a pipedream. it makes sense across the board, but the masses never like to see the rich get taxed less than they are, so in essence he will lose votes, not gain them.

Politics is politics. It is bullshit disguised by timing. Noone understands how a flat tax DOES tax the rich more. i never got this about the american people. The sliding scale we have had has never worked. But perception is reality in an election year especially.
