Trump: 'So many people tell us how we need to be politically correct and those


people are calling me the bully. Well look, the media is liberal biased!'


Okay, he didn't say that, not that I know of,

But think about it.

Flat tax - no such thing. A poor person pays a higher tax rate vs income on ALL goods.

Flat tax - no such thing. A poor person pays a higher tax rate vs income on ALL goods.

Example: If you make 100 bucks a day and buy a coat for 20 bucks, you're going to pay approximaely an additional 1.70 in sales taxes. = .017 % tax of income. If you make 500 bucks a day and buy the same coat = .0034 % tax of income. So the guy who makes 5 x as much is paying 1/5 of the taxes on that coat vs income = less income tax for the more you make. How are you going to work that into a "flat" tax? Eliminate all taxes but income tax? Good luck with that.
