Is Paul for that? Or he is for Forbes's "flat tax on wage income, no taxes on all other income"?
His father has said before that he would vote yes on flat tax simply because it would eliminate the income tax, which to him would be SOME kind of progress, but that it isn't good enough for him ultimately because he'd rather spending be cut to a point where neither would be necessary.
I assume Rand holds the same position. I'm pretty sure he doesn't SPECIFICALLY support flat tax other than because of what I mentioned.
Why is Rand being pinned to the flat tax just because someone who endorsed him is the quintesential flat taxer?
I was asking because of the previous poster's comment. I don't know Rand's position, though I imagine it's like that of his father and Forbes.
His father does not have the same position on the flat tax as Forbes. That's what I just said in that last post.
He has specifically said he'd only vote for it because, to paraphrase: it's better than nothing, basically.
Rand's father is not married to it like Forbes is.
