Steve Forbes is a one issue candidate. His primary concern is to push a
flat tax through Congress. Unfortunately, the fact that a flat tax would be
a fiscal catastrophe doesn't appear to be a concern of Forbes. However, I
doubt Forbes' zeal for the flat tax has nothing to do with the estimated $1
billion USD he'd save in income taxes alone if a flat tax were passed.
