I think you need to have a tax system that basically is flat, fair and simple. And - that you can put on a post card. I mean, even Timothy Geithner could do this one and get it on time.

I support transitioning from the progressive tax to a flat tax system - both individual and corporate/business.

We can fight over what the taxation levels should be, but the tax system should be very, very simple and not distortionary.

I think everyone believes the income tax system is not too understandable. I'm proposing the flat tax to get rid of deductions. However I would include a $15,000 dependency deduction so a family of four wouldn't pay taxes until they reach over $60,000 in taxable income.

I think a flat tax has merit. Anything would be better than the current tax code.

If we are to create tomorrow's jobs, we can't remain frozen in time in yesterday's tax system.
