Chad believes America’s income tax system is unjust, and he has been a supporter of a single rate tax in America since he was a college intern for George W. Bush’s first presidential campaign. He believes in creating a new tax system that would abolish income tax; alleviate unfair taxation against the poor and middle classes; and end the progressive assault on America's affluent.
