Challenge: make steve forbes president

(I posted this idea earlier but didnt get much response, figured i'd try again)

Easy

His Flat tax proposal was very popular, till his opponents started hitting on the loss of the Morgage deduction.

Forbes announces 4 changes to his proposal
1- Set the Personal Deduction equal to the Annual Minimum Wage --Every who makes less than Minimum drops of the tax rolls.
2- a up to 800$$ deduction/month [quick form from landlord of mogage holder show how much was paid ] for housing , if it costs more than this - the government is Helping not paying the whole thing.
3 - a 1200$$ standard Health deduction. this would include/cover health Insurance payments. If your annual health bill is more than 1200$$ Itemize
4- 3 tax brackets, if after these three deductions your net income left is less than 100,000$$ =10%
100,000 -> 500,000 =20%, over 500,000 = 30%

His Tv ads would point out that under this proposal almost all Workers with a gross income under 150,000$$ get a immediate 1 -> 2$$ /hour raise in disposal income.

He is elected in the biggest landslide since Washington,
