If he were elected the people who voted for him, which is mostly youth, would be screaming bloody murder when they start making a half decent wage. Not fair to tax people that much more. Flat tax is fair. We all pay the same share. BS crippling people financially who work harder or have more responsibility. This is the main complaint from Nordic countries like Denmark. Top earners feel punished. Barely afford a car why most rides bikes.
@beastmode: I don't plan to pay taxes any longer but I definitely don't believe in a flat tax. To me that means either people are going to pay a whole lot less or be billed for more than they can afford.
I worked my entire life paying a higher tax because I made more money than most of my friends and neighbors (because I worked an average 84 hour work week)!
Now, we want a flat tax that is going to mean less revenue? Thus less money for my senior years.
Scr@w that. Tax the s--t out of them!
If we're going to cut anything anywhere, cut congressional paychecks and benefits and increase their taxes to make up for their mismanagement of the tax system.
