He was quoting the simplicity of it............not a final plan................Most of the proposals give a 0% rate for those in poverty............
The tax code gives loop holes out the ass to those you want to target.......
A simplified code without deductions ensures they have to pay.....
So what's the problem.........
Really? Because that is not what Ben said.
"We need a significantly changed taxation system," Carson said in the prime-time GOP debate last week. "And the one that I've advocated is based on tithing, because I think God is a pretty fair guy. And he said, you know, if you give me a tithe, it doesn't matter how much you make. If you've had a bumper crop, you don't owe me triple tithes. And if you've had no crops at all, you don't owe me no tithes. So there must be something inherently fair about that.
"And that's why I've advocated a proportional tax system. You make $10 billion, you pay a billion. You make $10, you pay one. And everybody gets treated the same way. And you get rid of the deductions, you get rid of all the loopholes."

He said the rate would be 15% or so not staying with the 10%...........never heard him say anything against the no taxes up to $35,000 that Cruz suggested.......................
If we weren't so polarized.......perhaps we could negotiate the simple flat tax out..............
On Corporate Taxes...........Trump proposed it going down to 15%...................to try and stop the Inversion which fell on deaf ears during the debate......................because we need Investment here as we have a stagnant economy............
What are the solutions offered from the Dems other than increase taxes.......or add more pages to the code to close loop holes....................................................................
Simplify the system..............and end the abuse..............Your Dem leaders are for the big corp on your side just as the GOP is trying to keep the loop holes.....................perhaps you should push this agenda to your side as well???????????
You can argue, but here he is saying just exactly what I said above. Call Ben a liar if you like, but he's talking about raising taxes on the poor. The plan he's talking about in the video would actually cut taxes for the wealthy, and raise taxes on the poor. You'd think that would be a pretty hard sell, wouldn't ya?
And is that the final negotiated deal...............I too think everyone should have skin in the game...........but am willing to compromise on the final deal..............................
Those in poverty still pay no taxes..............I'm okay with that for the simplified system if that is what is needed to simplify the code..........
What is the Dem counter offer to that?
That's not what he fucking said. I'm not arguing your plan, I'm arguing against Ben's plan.
Has his plan been negotiated.................Has he stated he would not compromise................
I haven't seen that.........................
Again.............what is the Dems plan?
