During a town hall event in Iowa on Thursday night, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R–Fla.) floated the idea of abolishing the IRS and implementing a so-called "flat tax" that would charge all Americans the same rate.
"I would eliminate the IRS, have a single rate, and just do a flat tax," DeSantis said in response to a question from CNN's Kaitlan Collins, who was moderating the televised event. "That would be the ideal tax system."
