*"Diagnosis: A Tax System That Is Too Complex, Discourages Innovation and Stifles Economic Growth" [https://www.bencarson.com/issues/tax-reform (BCWTR)]
*"Prognosis: Without Change, Our Economy Will Continue to Suffer
*[In response to question on Carson's preference of a flat to a progressive tax rate] "What we have to think about is, 'How do we fix the economy so that it encourages entrepreneurial risk taking and capital investment? How do we create a ladder that allows those people in the lower income brackets to move up that ladder?' That's what we need to be concentrating on. Not how do we make them comfortable in that situation. That's not what America was all about. And we can do that." [https://www.bencarson.com/issues/issue/economy-and-jobs (BCEWJ)]
*"In recent years, our economy has stagnated. I believe restoring free market policies, implementing a simpler, flat tax system, reducing the regulatory burden on businesses and reducing government debt will rapidly increase economic growth and jobs, allowing more people to achieve the American dream."
