Disprroportionally taxing the rich doesnt make the poor into middle class. It makes them lazy and st_pid. Trust busting makes the poor into middle class. We have to replace the oncome tax with a flat sales tax. It will be cost neutral. A 20% sales on all purchases. Let big spenders get the burden of funding this wasted govt. Let the poor find a reason to be thrifty and smart.

Flatten and widen, i say (cut rates across the board, but introduce more people at the bottom who might currently be exempt, meanwhile shutting loopholes all around), but my vision would also introduce a VAT that would replace the corporate income tax, making it impossible for anyone who actually provides their product or service to Americans to dodge corporate taxation.
