That will get about 75% of the population voting for him. (((They)) aught to be afraid since Dems just proposed raising taxes. These people are stupid.

In his book, Crippled America, he proposes reforming the tax structure so that anyone making under $25K/yr and $50K for couples would not have to pay tax, and that taxes would be simpler for businesses, and lower overall.

Bullshit....every wage earner should have to pay some proportional share as long as we are going to have an income tax. I worked my ass off to get where I am. I am a SHINK (single high-income no kids) and absolutely get ass-hammered every paycheck. I'm tired of carrying the lower 50% of workers. And the whole "marriage penalty" argument is a myth...there is an economy of scale which is properly reflected in the tax code (it doesn't cost twice as much to heat a house if there is a couple vs a single; also spouses get a survivors benefit through social security...couples should pay more fica than singles).
