Pushing for flat tax, but no mention of Andorra or Isle of Man. Guess those aren't considered growth centers to support their argument

Flat tax and dregulation. Pretending like they are new ideas.

Every time someone shares something it has to be new, otherwise it's not worthy of your attention? Couldn't you at least provide some constructive criticism why the argument falls short in your mind, instead of the sharing the first knee-jerky reaction that popped up in your head that just touches the surface?

This is llm hallucination too? Old ideas and goes back to a system that was in place in the 1800’s. It didn’t go well. Who are these people that peddle this every 20-30 years or so? Opportunist.

Gosh, they have statistics! By a man. A man from Goldman!

"I was quoted by a man from Goldman's in the mansion house, that in Hong Kong it cost them $70 to onboard a client. In the UK, it now costs them $10,000 to onboard a client just because of the regulation."

Well I'll be darned!

A number of countries that implemented flat tax and simplified the tax code and reduced loopholes actually increased tax revenues (Estonia, Russia, Bulgaria come to mind). Those are not their only sources of tax revenue, of course - but interesting experiment (make it simpler and less loopholes and no insane concept of "tax returns").
