I'm fine with people paying less in taxes. I want everyone to keep as many as their dollars as possible. As long as the system isn't gamed for cheating.

If I make 86,376 next year, my payable tax is $14,751 ..
Under a 20% flat tax .. id pay $17,275.20 If my first 32k isnt taxed at all, id pay $10,875.20 ($54,376*.2)
Under a 20% flat tax where my first 32k isnt taxed .. id save $3,876 but id lose the ability to claim deductions etc so who really knows. I dont. So why even buy a house with mortgage interest, why invest in a roth ira .. you get no tax benefit from these under a flat tax (I assume)
Kanye on the other hand would save what? 5 million to 10 million per year?
Even if we do a 15% flat tax, Id save pennies compared to what the elite rich would save.
Wouldnt our tax revenue plummet?
Doesnt this just benefit the rich?
Wouldnt we have to slash all support like SS, medicare, medicaid etc .. just so Kanye can pocket 35 million instead of 30 million?

I want corporations and the elite rich to pay taxes .. instead of focusing on us under 100k people who have to grind out a living.
