I like the 999 plan. It means everyone will pay taxes at the same rate.

If there is a tax, then everyone has to pay. Not some so call "poor" is able to avoid it for being "poor".

Why does people has to pay 35% if they are making 250k while showing who making 20k pay -50%. Yes, negative 50%, because they paid $0 in tax and they will get back over 10k in credits.

I think we need to determine what is the rational for raising taxes on the poor? If it's to raise revenue, good luck. You can't get blood from a turnip.

No that is not the same rate. Why would he want poor people to pay more than anyone else? How does raising taxes on people who are already struggling help the economy?
