The 2016 Republican presidential candidates laid out their tax plans during Tuesday night’s Fox Business presidential debate, where retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson reiterated the fairness of his tithing-inspired tax plan and Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, detailed his own fair tax proposal.

Moderator Neil Cavuto questioned Carson on his advocation for a flat tax system, which Carson has previously claimed to be based on the biblical practice of a congregant giving one-tenth of his or her income to a church.

Carson explained at the GOP debate in late October that his system would realistically have all Americans pay up to 15 percent, instead of 10 percent, in a flat income tax. Cavuto then pointed out billionaire Donald Trump’s tax plan which calls for wealthier individuals to pay a higher tax rate “because it’s a fair thing to do.”

“So whose plan would God endorse then, Doctor?” Cavuto asked.
