Dr. Ben Carson Talked Taxes At UNR

Carsonscholars.org

Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson stopped in Reno earlier this week to continue his call for major changes to the country's tax code and a more prominent American role in world affairs.

The retired pediatric neurosurgeon touched on several policy topics during a speech at the University of Nevada, Reno.
 
His ideas include a six-month corporate tax holiday, decreasing the government's say in federal money given to states and creating a "flat tax" based on the biblical concept of tithing.
 
Carson outlined several of his proposals to a crowd gathered outside the Joe Crowley Student union.
