That kind of tax hike would kill the economy so even more would be taxed. Fact is, we cannot possibly pay down the deficit with our current spending level.
We can only pay it off by cutting spending. NOTHING in the constitution calls for welfare. Those are Taxation Without Representation.
That would trigger a recession, and put more people on welfare.
Or rather, it would revel that a lot of government jobs ARE welfare.
The other thing is 75% or so of the people working today will not be need very soon (according to people like Musk).

Correct, but there IS quite a few things in the Constitution that make welfare ILLEGAL: A1S8, 5th, 13th (outside of the 9th/10th for the ‘State level’ crowd)
Only ONE sentence in the whole thing worth a hill of beans: “If any normal company tried to use accounting like the US Congress does, the SEC would rightly declare it fraudulent and shut it down immediately.”
Yet, here we have “(C)” pontificating on how to make these illegal/unconstitutional programs of theft and economic servitude ‘solvent’ (though I concur *NOBODY* should pay $0%...EVER. Nobody DOESN’T utilize the govt, ever, so everyone should have skin in the game.).
