if you were president, would you eliminate the federal income tax? >> oh, can i stop dreaming? i mean, wouldn't you like to eliminate the irs? what i would want is -- i think i would eliminate the irs, have a single rate, and just do, like, a flat tax. i think that would be the ideal tax system to be able to do. take away the distortions. and what happens is -- florida is a good example of this. we have low tax and we cut taxes, and yet we attract more investment in our economic base expands. so, i run these big budget surpluses where we're paying down debt by lowering rates. i think other high tax states, they tax, they cause businesses to flee and individuals to flee, then they go back to the well and they tax more and it's, like, a vicious cycle. so, low rates, broad base, ultimately is the best and most conducive to economic growth. >> but you would push to eliminate the federal income tax. >> i want to eliminate the irs,
