it's a load of posturing aimed at the young white libertarians/progressives. that being said, he is the most palatable conservative candidate ive seen in a hot minute, and i think if the GOP put all their weight behind him instead of running against each other, he'd have an easy swing into the white house. but they wont.

And right there, you get somebody who's gonna cut the US off from the world.

Great.

This isn't the 1700's anymore where you can play the isolation game.

Not to mention that both of those things are pure populism.

No, it's called affordable. Sorry that poor idiots can't delegate their spending. Maybe they should be taxed into poverty if they're so stupid as to go bankrupt because of a little taxation.

A flat tax would be best, it's not right to steal more money from the rich because they're successful. Progressive tax = theft

the UN is a powerless organization

The US leaving the UN would pretty much obliterate the UN singlehandedly.

And while the UN doesn't have much in the way of hard power, it has a lot of soft power.

Uh 17% of $2,000,000 is still more than 17% of $20,000.

More Than Mortal · April 08, 2015, 04:59:14 PM

Just going to weigh in on the flat tax issue here.

It could work. It requires a few mitigating factors, though.

You could only really have a flat income tax if I) the rate was low (around 20pc), II) you make people below a certain threshold tax-exempt III) you have a fairly progressive consumption tax and IV) you heavily incentivise people to save, in order to contribute to Solow growth.
