And who pays for everything else the .gov gives away?

I'd rather have my taxes paid this way than pay taxes to make my money, pay taxes to invest my money, pay taxes to buy my things, pay taxes to use my things, pay taxes to sell my things, etc...

Wouldn't it be amazing if we could throw the IRS off our backs profiting from the sweat of our brow but at the same time level the competitive landscape and promote production here in the USA??
Freaking amazing 😍😍

don't be silly.. there's state taxes, social security taxes, unemployment taxes, medicare tax
a flat tax isn't going to remove any of that... and it will just make it easier to raise the rate.
They'll start at 10% and bump it up from there... before you know it, it's 25% with no deductions.

Why doesn't he just call it a flat tax rather than using word games pretending there is going to be an "external revenue service".  All he's doing is raising prices on US citizens, and the people who will get hit the hardest will be the people who can least afford it. That includes the lower middle class.

These are the people who created a new government agency to make the government more efficient.
