What I said: "several US Republican presidential candidates over the past couple of decades have specifically proposed a flat rate of income tax. "
This is 100% correct. From the 2015 primary season: https://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/16/business/economy/republican-presidential-candidates-rally-around-flat-tax.html https://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/16/business/economy/republic...
From 1999: https://www.nytimes.com/1999/11/14/us/flat-tax-goes-from-snake-oil-to-gop-tonic.html https://www.nytimes.com/1999/11/14/us/flat-tax-goes-from-sna...
I suspect you misread what I wrote as "a flat income tax", which is ironic since it is the terminology actually used by these candidates, even though I understand it to imply a flate tax rate.
- constantcrying 3y agoA flat tax rate means e.g. 10%. You claimed it is "everyone pays the same amount". >I suspect you misread what I wrote as "a flat income tax", which is ironic since it is the terminology actually used by these candidates, even though I understand it to imply a flate tax rate. You are the one single person which doesn't understand that the politicians mean e.g. "10%". But instead you thought they meant everyone pays 1k. Just stop pretending.
