"@zealot240 @pieck411 @alt_ccc Tax cuts for the rich and tax raises for the non rich which is essentially what a flat tax would be would not stimulate growth much. You also don't need a low tax on the rich to keep capital here. All your points are basically moot"

"@zealot240 @pieck411 @alt_ccc It would not boost investment much wouldn't do much to capital here since it isn't leaving due to current taxes and people will create a signfigant amount of investment with or without your flat tax. It would mostly just be a transfer to the rich"

"@zealot240 @pieck411 @alt_ccc Taxes in America are low relative to the average OECD countries.

"@zealot240 @pieck411 @alt_ccc The private sector does create jobs this is irrelevant and I've already said cutting taxes for the rich won't drive much growth. SNAP fraud not XX% and the existence of SNAP fraud is not case for eliminating it. Food banks aren't going to feed people higher efficiency"

"@zealot240 @pieck411 @alt_ccc Killing SNAP is not going to reduce poverty. Poverty did not drop in the 1990s because of welfare reform it dropped because the economy recovered from the recession leading to lower unemployment"

"@zealot240 @pieck411 @alt_ccc XX% is not XX% and as I said it's not an argument for eliminating the program. Food banks cannot replace SNAP Charity cannot replace welfare programs nor can you just induce charity. Lower taxes won't help the people at the bottom who mostly don't pay taxes"

"@zealot240 @pieck411 @alt_ccc Yes and it didn't abolish TANF and poverty didn't fall because of welfare reform. It feel because the economy improving. BTW unlike TANF most studies show that work requirements for SNAP do nothing but cut benefits for those who need it"

"@Jason_Dean @mattyglesias The main effect through which a deficit reduction in the short term will be helpful is through reducing demand allowing the fed to lower rates which again is not far from neutral"
