Would you vote for a candidate with the following platform?
"As far as taxes go, I think we need a flat rate income tax straight across the board. For example, if John Doe makes $10,000 a year and his tax rate is 5 percent, then Donald Trump, who makes who knows how much a year, should pay the same 5 percent. ( The 5 percent figure is just a number out of the air.) Why discriminate against income classes when it comes to taxes?
Maybe we should just do away with income taxes all together and go to a national flat rate sales tax. That way, everybody will pay their fair share. No tax dodging, no tax deduction fraud, no billions of dollars spent year after year in printing up tax booklets and forms to file income taxes. Just think of the revenue this country could bring in and think of the money that could be saved. Everyone from the local drug dealer to the highest paid tax dodger would be paying sales taxes. Would also help do away with the bickering about where our income tax dollars are spent.
Change "welfare" to "workfare". Every town and county has roads and highways full of trash that could be picked up or weeds chopped.. the list goes on. There is always something that people could do to earn their welfare dollars."
