Ben Carson says his flat tax will be around 15 percent. And by God, if he ever shows you the details, you'll see how awesome and deficit-killing it is.

More quotes by Kevin Drum
There's no liberal equivalent of Donald Trump.
Kevin Drum
We stiffened the penalties for fraud, we extended nationwide efforts to make sure that payments are accurate and they closed a loophole in which people were gaming the system. We didn't change eligibility requirements or reduce the level of benefits.
Kevin Drum
We need to cut regulations. Apparently this will make everyone a little more socially responsible?
Kevin Drum
I read quite a few complaints last night about Lester Holt’s choice of debate topics. Liberals wanted to know why climate change didn’t come up. Conservatives thought there should have been a question about abortion.
Kevin Drum
Because prison sentences in America tend to be long, de-incarceration lags falling crime rates by a fair amount, but eventually it does catch up.
Kevin Drum
I hate the idea that we might lose even a few talented future leaders because they fell for Bernie Sanders's spiel and then got discouraged when it didn't pan out.
Kevin Drum
Democrats are awfully sensitive to losing power for a few years. I report, you decide.
Kevin Drum
Apple is happy to allow users more control over their devices as long as it also happens to benefit Apple. If it doesn't, then tough.
Kevin Drum
Despite more than a year of spittle-flecked fury at Hillary Clinton for using a private email server, most Trump voters probably don’t even know what a private server is. Nor do they care. It was just a buzzword that somehow meant Hillary was a crook.
Kevin Drum
Open office plans, cell phones, constant notifications: these are all things that fight against sustained attention on a task. For some people and some tasks, that doesn’t matter. But for a lot of important work, it matters a lot.
Kevin Drum
The ability to focus on a single task for an extended period is a talent that’s underappreciated - especially by extroverts, who continue to exercise an unhealthy hegemony over most workplaces.
Kevin Drum
Note to conservatives: sometimes you just have to give up. Do you really care that much about killing lots of bad guys as opposed to letting them rot in prison for the rest of their lives? It might be time to let go and save your energy for other battles. This one is getting absurd.
Kevin Drum
When Donald Trump disingenuously demands to know why [Hillary] Clinton never tried to close the loopholes he used, the answer is: She did. And if there had been any way to make it retroactive, she probably would have voted for that too.
Kevin Drum
Republican voters already hated Democrats so much that [Bill] Clinton and [Barack] Obama didn't really have much impact.
Kevin Drum
Marco Rubio turns a question about missing Senate votes into an attack on the mainstream media.
Kevin Drum
If Trump really opposed the war in Iraq, all he has to do is show us the evidence. It would take five minutes. He hasn’t done it. He’s lying.
Kevin Drum
I can't fault [Donald] Trump for firing [Craig] Deare. Then again, I also can't fault Deare for going berserk. Sometimes a marriage just doesn't work.
Kevin Drum
I watch CNN, it's so much anger and hatred and just the hatred.
Kevin Drum
It’s certainly true that it’s easier to be patient about change when you’re not personally suffering...
Kevin Drum
The reporting is fake. Look, look...You know what it is? Here's the thing. The public isn't - you know, they read newspapers, they see television, they watch. They don't know if it's true or false because they're not involved.But I'm involved. So I know when you're telling the truth or when you're not. I just see many, many untruthful things.
