DeSantis: I Want to Eliminate IRS, Do Flat Rate, But Only if It Means 'Lower Taxes for Everybody'

During a town hall on CNN on Thursday, 2024 Republican presidential candidate Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis stated that he wants to eliminate the IRS and a flat income tax rate "would be the ideal tax system to be able to do, take away the distortions." But he'd only do a flat rate if it resulted in "lower taxes for everybody."
