Keep the taxes equal as the rich will pay more than poor, as raising tax rates will make everyone more equal in how much money we get and I do not want to live in a socialist or communistic third world country

Flat/VAT tax hybrid in place of progressive structure we have currently for both individual and families as well as a flat tax for all corporate income with no loopholes or deductions
@8DMCL2ZRepublican5yrs5Y
There shouldn’t be crazy taxes like this in the first places. Even if you’re “just raising taxes for the rich” the “rich” can include all the way down to the lower middle class. How about you just don’t tax us to support unnessessary things like food stamps, seeing as people use them to buy junk food like chips and soda instead of stuff they need.
