If you're going for a real flat tax with only charitable contribution deductions, it would work if they set the bottom at 25% of everything over $50,000 (ex kerry only paid something like 16% last year due to all the write-offs and loopholes). Businesses would still need a way to deduct real ex

If all the polls closed at the same time then the media couldn't call the East coast states while the West cost is still voting. All votes would be counted at the same time so no single state would look like it determined the outcome. We heard it would come down to OH or FL based on polling info

Still, it might be interesting to see how those undecided electors cast their ballots.  In 12 states, they aren't required to cast for the party they were originally pledged to! Even in those states where it's required, the worst penalty is a $10,000 fine.  Chump change for most who are selected

Wouldn't "look like" ... even if it did.  That's another problem of its own.  We heard for weeks it would come down to Florida or Ohio.  So what we really would find out is:   "Was it OH or FL"  or whichever states it is that year. Maybe it always was that way we just hear it quicker

Something we agree on, a flat tax. I say around a 35% flat tax for everyone and exempt the first $100,000. That sound fair to me. Only deductions are for charitable contributions to encourage giving. There can even be an option to pay more to the government. During the campaigning I saw several H
