Flat taxes, especially at that rate, are not nearly enough to fund the government. Progressive tax rates are crucial. The wealthy paid tax rates OVER 90% under that notorious liberal … Eisenhower.
some good stuff here, but flat taxes are regressive, and eliminating complicated tax laws means eliminating deductions that allow working class families to lower their tax burden
better option, bring back Eisenhower's tax brackets

Well, I’m atheist, but I think what we need is a Democratic supermajority and have them impeach most of the radical Right wing Supreme Court justices, and then start suing these MAGA churches for preaching politics.
Disagree everyone pay 25% as that will hurt families whose income is $40,000 they pay $10,000? You hurt those with lower incomes and they struggle the most. Seems wealthy have been getting breaks for decades. Need a gradual flat tax rate on income not all pay the same. 🥴
No flat tax. Why should Warren Buffett pay same rate as nurse or firefighter ?
Eliminate loopholes.
Eliminate preferential treatment of cap gains & carried interest.
Cap personal deductions,a high cap, but a cap nonetheless.
No income limit for medical expense
No cap on FICA tax
Unbelievably huge swing and a miss with the flat tax. This would double or triple the tax rate for lower income earners, and be a huge tax cut to the wealthy. What billionaire wrote this shit and thought they could sneak this in
Yes. While we are at it, increase payroll tax contributions to social security. Now limited to the first $200,000 or so. Increase the payment to the first $ 500,000. That will keep SSI solvent until the year 2100.

Which means this will not effect liberal congregations and the Satanic Church
Medicare supplemental plans will still be needed because Medicare doesn't cover everything.
We should have a progressive tax code.
