Okay, sure I have some free time.
I would prefer a flat tax with a $10- $15,000 deduction for individuals (may $7k per child). The tax rate could be somewhere in the 17% range and take care of all government costs. That is a flat tax for all source of income (including stock market gains).
Flat taxes disproportionately affect low income earners by taxing a higher percentage of their income than middle and upper class citizens. You're only going to make the gap wider between the poorest and most in need of support in our society and everyone else. Very Christian tax plan.
Already the top 1% of income earner pay 50% of the taxes.
And? The top 1% of the country owns 31% of all wealth in the US. The bottom 50% of the country holds 2.6%. Furthermore, the top .1% owns 15% of all wealth in this country. They can afford to pay more for the betterment of society as a whole, and not be negatively impacted.
The problem is that the government spends to much money and spends it on BS things like the Department of Education.
The DoE is not bullshit spending. What's bullshit is having schools tied to local property taxes because you end up with disproportionate resources allowing for rural and inner city schools being underfunded. Everywhere the voucher system has been implemented has been an abject failure. https://www.epi.org/blog/state-and-...look-to-public-school-advocates-for-guidance/
report is the latest evidence that North Carolina’s school voucher system is fraught with problems – maybe even widespread fraud

If you want big government, higher taxes, and Socialism, vote Harris.
Rahhhh Socialism boogeyman! What's one socialist policy she's proposing?
If you want limited government, lower taxes, and capitalism, vote Trump.
Just no. Lower taxes, sure - only if you're in that top 1% bracket.
