What this dimwit doesn't seem to grasp is that a flat tax is inherently Unfair. If (to use his example) a person making ten billion dollars pays one billion in taxes, and a person making ten dollars pays one dollar in taxes, the rich person is left with nine billion dollars, and the poor person is left with nine dollars.
Dr Carson, try meeting YOUR basic human needs on nine fucking dollars, you heartless prick.

And the billion confiscated from the rich guy by the guvmint is mostly pissed down ratholes.
Bill and Melinda would do better with it.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

When even FOX gives a republicunt shit you know its bad.
I think many Republicans are starting to get the idea that crazy = bad for their party. They still seem a long away from doing something about it, though.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Seriously, a 10% flat tax? What kind of fucking brain-dead, moronic, piece of shit idea is that? Of course he got the idea from the bible.. How about we bring back stoning adulterers and homosexuals too? The bible is full of great ideas..
I'm hoping we're in the very late stages of the possibility of a bible-thumper becoming president of this country. I don't want to say I'd be surprised if a republican president got voted in, with the majority of the U.S. being christians still. However, with the increase in secularism and liberalism, especially with young folks, I can't see this country voting in another bible-following zombie in the not too distant future. The republican party will eventually have to steer away from god and christianity, or keep it to themselves, in order to survive.

Bible based? I'm sure when Jesus flipped over the money lender's tables it was because he objected to the fact it wasn't a flat tax.
