So where's all the money going to come from if they slash taxes like that?

Elimination of most deductions.  The plan would actually be revenue-neutral.

According to who?

Faeelin, you're a stupid liberal. Intelligent conservative economists have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that as you decrease tax rates, you increase tax revenues. Indeed, as the limit of the tax rate function approaches zero, tax revenues approach infinity. Reaganomics 101 dude.

Yeah, there's pretty much a 0% chance of that happening.  Republican contributors in business have no desire to pay taxes.

When you translate this from GOPtard spin to American English, the word "revenue-neutral" means you have to exclude Medicare, Social Security, and military spending from the budget calculus.

You shouldn't reply to him.  It just encourages him.

You're talking to a guy who probably says things like "GOPtard" and "Republitard" in actual real life conversations.

I thought we all agreed to that already.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

If you eliminate deductions, how will there really be any savings for the average person?

Hans probably believes people like me who live on our income tax refunds are a myth perpetrated by the leftist conspiracy.
Experience bij!

If it's revenue neutral then by definition the average person will break even.

Not really.  The government will break even, but not necessarily the average person.

Granted.  People who itemize (homeowners) would lose out, renters would come out ahead.
