Why have any deductions? That's why the flat-tax rate would be so much lower. You want to have six kids? Have at it! That doesn't mean your tax rate should be any lower than anyone else's. That was a personal decision.
I also advocate revamping capital gains and am for overall tax reform. This is where I depart from a lot of Republicans, but it's time to slay this beast called the tax code. The "don't crush the job creator" argument just isn't believable.
Why have any deductions? Are you serious? You mean a business could not deduct the cost of salaries, wages, materials, advertising, rent, depreciation, employee benefits, state and local taxes, etc.?
I'm all for revising the tax code but that would put business out of business.
