Kirby: I believe in a ‘flat’ tax — either you pay or we flatten you

Related Topics: Tax, Flat (music)

My entire understanding of taxes can be spelled out in a single sentence: Either I pay or I go to jail.

Sounds overly simplistic, but I think it makes me something of an expert on the matter — or at least it should.

Taxes ought to be simple enough for all Americans (or someone in their family) to figure out on their own without having to hire someone else to do it.

I believe in what many refer to as a “flat tax.” If you’re unfamiliar with the term, let me simplify it for you. Don’t be scared.
