A flat tax is roughly the same as a sales tax.

Who's on the case when it comes to the flat tax?

We are for pension reform, jobs, the flat tax, and justice reforms.

I lean toward a flat tax. But I want to make it real flat, like ZERO.

I was working on a flat tax proposal and accidentally proved there was no God.

I think a flat tax has merit. Anything would be better than the current tax code.

Under my plan, 85 percent of America will pay no tax or have a flat tax at our lowest rate of 15 percent.

I support transitioning from the progressive tax to a flat tax system - both individual and corporate/business.

When I looked at it and did my homework on this issue, I concluded that a flat tax is better than a consumption tax.

On the flat tax, the more you compress the tax rates, the more you untax where the income is really made, at the top of the pyramid.

In a perfect world we would bring corporate tax rates down to 25% or less so we can get competitive in the world economy. Ultimately, I would love to see a flat tax.

We spend millions of dollars every year just for the right to pay our taxes, but once again, do we really need to do that? Why don't we simplify it? And I've certainly looked at fair tax, I've looked at flat tax, and if I get to the U.S. Senate, I'd like to review that.

If we had a flat tax code rather than a 70,000-page document full of cronyism and favors, bureaucrats and elected officials wouldn't have the power to do you any favors. That's what we need. You would have to compete on your own on a level playing field, but that's not what the government permits now.

The 9-9-9 plan would resuscitate this economy because it replaces the outdated tax code that allows politicians to pick winners and losers, and to provide favors in the form of tax breaks, special exemptions and loopholes. It simplifies the code dramatically: 9% business flat tax, 9% personal flat tax, 9% sales tax.

I support both a Fair Tax and a Flat Tax plan that would dramatically streamline the tax system. A Fair Tax would replace all federal taxes on personal and corporate income with a single national tax on retail sales, while a Flat Tax would apply the same tax rate to all income with few if any deductions or exemptions.
