Perhaps the only positive of a flat tax would be eliminating a ton of work done by the IRS and potentially saving the government billions. Potentially.

In reality you are asking for taxes to be raised on the poor and lowered for the rich. And this isn't even getting into the fact that you are most likely avoiding a lot of income taxes with capital gains (if at all) in our current system when making $10MM/yr. Thus, essentially achieving what you're arguing for. So go fukk yourself. Flat taxes are a terrible argument and they are progressive for a reason.
tolerant democrats resorting to irrational anger:sas2:

tough night:umad:

please explain to me how this is a flat tax.


Rich people will still pay a higher % on a larger amount of money.
But I'm sure you could tell me what the "fair share" should be :lupe:

The Cure to Hillary Clinton's Problem With Millennials? Donald Trump.
Clinton would crush the Republican front-runner among young voters in the fall.

Hillary Clinton has struggled mightily to convince young Democrats to support her in her bid to defeat Bernie Sanders for the Democratic presidential nomination. The socialist senator from Vermont has dominated the under-30 crowd across the country so far in primaries and caucuses. When Sanders won the Michigan primary on Tuesday in a major upset, he carried the 18- to 29-year-old age bracket by an 81-18 percent margin. Even when Clinton wins a state handily, she struggles with young voters; Clinton won Virginia by 29 percentage points on March 1, but shelost young voters by 38 points.

But those lousy numbers likely won't carry over to the general election if she faces off against Donald Trump. A new poll from USA Today/Rock the Vote shows Clinton crushing Trump by a margin of 52-19 percent among voters under the age of 35. Almost a quarter of young Republicans would vote for Clinton, according to the poll. Young voters across demographic lines prefer Clinton to Trump, with African Americans favoring Clinton 67-5 percent.

Still, the new numbers aren't encouraging for Clinton in her matchup with Sanders. Overall among millennials, Sanders is ahead of Clinton 54-37 percent. Despite the conventional wisdom that Sanders performs better among men, the poll shows the two candidates mostly even among young men—48-44 percent in favor of Sanders—with Sanders gaining most of his edge from young women, who back him by a 61-30 percent margin.


This is the cure to Hillary Clinton's problem with millennials

The polls and demographics had already made clear that today wouldn't be the best day for him. It would be dumb to drop out just because you met expectations on a tough day.

Coming up, Idaho, Utah, Alaska, Hawaii, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming are all predicted to be in his favor. He could potentially win 7 states in a row. And then another 5-8 states after that are looking pretty good, better than Missouri or anything else today. Unfortunately, none of them are big delegate grabs.

Might as well stay in, keep preaching the message, and keep forcing Clinton to the left.

The problem with that is she's a chameleon. Not a very good one either. She can keep going left during the campaign but once that's over it's back to her centrist views she goes a-hoppin.

The Republicans basically just handed the election to the Dems. Kasich is not winning anything and both Trump and Cruz don't hold up in any sort of light.

The thing about this country though we sure do love to vote in actors and entertainers just for the hell of it. Trump is an odd duck that I can't really get a bead on, at all.
