Steve Forbes: Still Flat on Taxes, Regulation

The one-time presidential candidate predicts a rollback in CAFE ratings, slams the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and calls for simpler income taxes and a free-market approach to health care as ways to boost the economy.


I favor a flat-tax, too, for Social Security: everybody pays the same percentage of their total income into the retirement and social insurance system, otherwise, along with guaranteed universal health care, education, food, housing, employment, vacation, union membership and minimum annual income, we can put children first, not WORMs (white old rich men).

Sorry, Steve: you're wrong about CAFE standards and the CFPB, though.
