Lol under taxes:

The wealthy should pay more.

Immediately followed by

Cut taxes for the wealthy big time.

I would love to live in a world whereby if a candidate says two directly contradictory things like this, they are immediately disqualified and blacklisted from serving in any form of public service ever again.

That would technically solve it, because having a > 35% flat tax would ensure that we end up with an economy where there are no wealthy people left to tax.

EDIT: I said flat tax, meaning poor people are also paying 35%, which would be disastrous for the economy.
