What you say is only partly true.

You have to get elected first. Most of the ‘flat tax’ candidates don’t get elected. As a matter of fact, none of them have been elected.

Once elected they must be willing to use the power of the executive fully to get their way. This is one thing we as Conservatives can learn from Obama. He’s unafraid to install his edicts by hook or by crook.

A President can do virtually anything. They simply have to remember that their vote is worth 357 votes of the Legislature. That is the amount of votes needed to over turn a VETO. 290 in the House and 67 in the Senate.

If a POTUS is willing to exert his authority there is little he couldn’t do rather quickly. It only takes the will and the guts to use the power.

Actually, what I said was, *all* true.

I was not discussing all the reasons why it is all true. I was talking the facts as they stack, so far. Your comment is actually an extrapolation of those facts, and a different trail of discussion.
