Each candidate running for a political position should have to pass a history and economic test

Each candidate running for a political position should have to pass a history test and an economic test as well. For all of the candidates that believe taxes should be cut need to sit in on my economic class. taxes need to be raised for the rich and lowered for the poor. any person can see that the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. Making a flat tax is not a good thing. If each person will be taxes 9%, a person pulling in an income of $250,000 will have to pay $22,500 while a person making $50,000 a year will have to pay $4,500. In relation to each other, the poor are paying a larger percentage of their income. Therefore, i believe that each candidate should have to pass tests before they are allowed to run for a position.
