10% is fair. 10% across the board. 10% for upper. 10% for middle. 10% for lower. 10% of $100,000,000 is $10 million. 10% of $30,000 is $3,000. The wealthy would still be paying a LOT more.
No capital gains tax. No sales tax. No VAT tax. No property tax. NO other forms of tax - period. I've already been taxed, there is no excusing for taxing me over and over and over and over.
This is 100% sustainable if we have constitutional government. God Himself only asks for 10%. It's completely absurd and asinine that the greedy government and greedy, lazy liberal dumbocrats would ask for more than what God does.
Yet again.... you are not thinking clearly and rationally about the whole picture. We cannot compete globally with your 'plan'. We absolutely must be able to compete on a global scale or the country is fucked.
It the federal government would return to the responsibilities assigned to it by the Constitution, it could well thrive on just 10% State taxes would increase, but people have more control over state government than they do the federal government.
People need to realize that the overwhelming majority of federal expenditures take place in the social programs, defense, and interest on the national debt. The social programs, especailly medicare and medicaid are driving the deficits. Anyone who thinks that Obamacare will help our health care cost situation is a fool.
