Carson said a 15 percent tax on everyone would work because he would eliminate all deductions.

This would have a very bad effect on the housing industry as homeowners count on the mortgage interest deductions. He would also eliminate exemptions for health insurance and retirement savings.

This info can be found on page A6 of today's Daily Sun.

Carson may be very likable but certainly is not Presidential material.

I hope Fiorina was being cutesy when she said she would pare down the tax codes from 70,000 pages down to 3 pages. Agree that 70,000 is ridiculous but 3 pages? Not even realistic.

Winner last night? Christy.[/QUOTE]
Personally being a Rep. I don't think Christy stands a chance. In the end I think it will be either Trump, Carson or Cruz, maybe. I've always said a flat tax would keep the tax cheats from hiding money before they're taxed. Tax them before they can hide it. A flat tax will tax everybody the same.10 or 15% tax won't hurt anybody any more it you make 10 million a yr. or like me $30,000. a yr. We would be in the shape we are now if the rich & the politicians were paying the same tax as the ones trying to make ends meet week by week! All of these candidate polls to me don't mean squat, a lot can change in a yr.
