I like the idea of a flat tax. Take 15% of my AGI, I'll save $375 from

The problem with that statement is you wouldn't have an AGI with a
flat tax, you would only have a gross income. To be revenue neutral
the number is more like 20-25%

Why does it have to be revenue neutral?

I would get rid of all what are called entitlements. Sometimes you win
and some times you lose. Our biggest problem is that people believe and
have been led to believe that the government will take care of them.
This has to stop and it has to stop now.

The federal government should not be in the business of redistributing
income between the states.

Agreed.

The federal government should not be in the business of redistributing
income between the citizens of the states.

Agreed.

Nothing wrong with states competing on taxation too. Keeps them more
honest.

But Obama wants to redistribute the health care for government revenue
(skiming). Socialism pure and simple.
