Explain your thinking on flat tax. If I am a trucker, can I deduct fuel and new tires, or maybe a new engine? The point is, no matter how you structure it, there will always be deductions exploited by those who know how to do it. If a trucker grosses $150,000, but only clears $80,000 after expenses, you can't tax him for all of that. Same with any business. So how do you think the flat tax works?
