Thank fox. The one thing I am getting concerned about are the new tax plans. Many people call them fantasies because the numbers don't jive. The plans better be ironclad or both republican primary voters and democrats will eviscerate our candidate. KISS. This is the time to create your,own narrative. Do it honestly and do it right.
The President cannot enact a tax plan. He/she can only provide leadership to accomplish one. I trust every one of those people to think it through and come up with something that will work. As I personally support the flat tax concept, I of course mostg appreciate those candidates who are also thinking along those lines. Trump is the only one who seems to support a progressive tax system, and that is a check mark in the negative column for him as I see it. A deal breaker? Not necessarily but I really do hope we get at least a national discussion going on the flat tax and balanced budget concept. And the argument that it won't produce as much revenue is not a reasonable argument with me with a Congress with a track record of spending every penny they get and then some whether or not what they spend is good stewardship of our money. I'm with Ben Carson on the concept that the only way to get Congress to back off spending is to give them less money to spend along with a requirement they have to stay within budget guidelines.
I love Fiorina's proposal who is the ONLY one pushing for a zero base budget concept. Baseline budgeting has been a significant reason the budget has spiraled out of control for decades.
