Presidential Debates 2024

I fully understand where you are coming from with this, but each and every person should pay in. A flat tax (why I went with 18%, not higher, and the # could be worked out by the accountants) is across the board.

Only making 30k? Go make more, but you're still going to pay.

Making 1 mil+? Go make more, but you're still going to pay.

The idea being (and yes there would be growing pains), the Government is not taking more from one person or the other. The Government is getting out of the way of people earning, and wanting to earn more for themselves and their family.

Just because someone makes less, which sucks, doesn't exempt them from their "societal responsibilities"... just as with someone making more, shouldn't be "stolen from" simply because they are earning more.

Transparent, no gimmicks, and no administrative state stepping on people year after year... In the long run, IMO, better.

Course I'm open to debate.

You aren't getting any taxes if the person can't survive.

Quite frankly, I'd also be cool with completely dropping all income taxes and sticking it all into sales taxes. Low as fuck on food and essentials, but more on everything else.
