One party has zero common sense. One party does some stupid stuff but trends more toward common sense most of the time.

Party politics IS the battle between idiocy and common sense. This battle has to be won first before we can move on.

But you have hit the nail on the head…common sense has been erased from the less than 40 crowd in the USA.

One party wants to put a 30% sales tax on hard working Americans.

Talk about lack of common sense.

It actually does make some sense I think. In a way it is an equaliser in that those with more to spend, will end up contributing more too the govt. Would love to see it modified to remove staple food items etc from it though.

Simple! Every one has skin in the game, not much need for an IRS, tax attorneys, CPAs.....save the economy billions! Get rid of unnecessary, made up jobs.

Congress wouldn't get to pay back donors with tax law or pick winners and losers....

Those that don't pay taxes wouldnt get to vote for those that do to pay more.....everyone would have skin in the game!

quote:

A few years later, in 1992, Jerry Brown finished a surprising second to Bill Clinton in the Democratic primary by running on a 13 percent flat tax. In the 1980s and ’90s, influential pro-growth Democratic thought leaders like Bill Bradley, Dick Gephardt, and John Breaux teamed with Republicans like Jack Kemp on tax policy.

Today, any Democrat would be tossed out of the party for such an act of treason. The next Democratic leader in the Senate, Chuck Schumer of New York, has alerted Republicans that the 1986 tax reform consensus is gone. He wants to get rid of tax loopholes for the rich, not to pay for lower rates, but to raise money for more government spending.

So if Republicans are going to reinvent the tax code, they won’t get help from the party dominated by Elizabeth Warren class warriors. The GOP is going to have to win a resounding electoral mandate to do it.
