    Taking that position is what someone who doesn't understand Conservatism would say, if they wanted to pretend to be a Conservative.

    Sometimes I lean conservative, sometimes liberal, and other times libertarian, it is mine to choose, which and when.

    Define "financial inequality", that is too relative of a term, and can be easily misinterpreted.

    This time you are leaning in to no man's land. I doubt you can cite a single source that agrees with your position, including hard core Libertarians. I'm just sayin, it's a bizarre position to take, and you are alone in doing so.

    The issue is they are using far right blogs and conspiracy sites rather than proper sources, such as the one you just provided.

    They think it's not being covered by the media due to "teh libruhl agenda"...when in fact it isn't being covered because some nutjob with a blog randomly made it up.

    Sorry, I meant to say Income inequality.

    Would that include the "victims" of income inequality too? Should they grow up and realize life isn't fair too?

    no problem, that's why i asked.

    people who are poor, people who have less, already know life isn't fair, like everyone else. your use of the term "victims", is egregious in this context.

    Yup. All too often the ''politically correct'' radical right wingers post endless lies along with their hate. But none can refute the TRUTH which proves that it is their party that causes every mess in society.

    It's why it's called Income inequality. A burger flipper won't make as much as a plumber......but they could if they wanted to.

    Lol...Everyone knows that the cons are always trying to cheat on their taxes so most of that money was stolen by them fiddling their tax returns and trying to defraud the government.
    Your great orange hope is probably one of the main culprits doing this sort of stuff.
    No wonder he's afraid to show us his tax returns.

    The key word in the headline is "potentially." An asteroid could potentially hit the earth today, too. Got any more fake news to deflect from Donnie Trump's ongoing clown circus?

    If watching porn is such an evil that employees need to be fired because of it, then the entire military should be dissolved because of all the rape that goes on in the barracks (especially in view of the fact that the majority of rape victims are male):

    Wow the Democrats increased spending 9% in 2008 and then 18% in 2009 and kept spending at that level throughout running their $1,000B deficits for all those years and were cutting IRS funding all the while? What was the spending level in 2003 through 2009?

    Did you have anything relevant to say? Do you own research.

    Yet, somehow, the only requests that was actually denied were from "liberals".

    But a flat tax is going to mean a huge tax increase on the poor who have been hurt the most in our economy while mostly benefiting the rich who have gotten almost all the growth. How does this make any sense? Why not just simplify our income tax system and remove the loopholes?

    I would do a progressive flat tax. How does it make any sense to not treat everyone the same though? Why allow some to have zero tax burden?

    Which loopholes do you suggest getting rid of?
