I prefer a 5% fee on all funds being wired out of the country. To be exclusively used for border protection. Excess funds to be turned over to Capitol Hill for there usage.

I support this, but I would make the fee equivalent to the income tax. Unless the wire sender can verify that he has paid income tax on the money, in which case 5%, then, he owes whatever the tax rate, including SS payments and Obamacare penalty, would have been on the money. (BTW, the penalty for not buying health insurance continues through 2018.)

Great idea. But, hen wait for it, Congress will write a bill stating they will forbid the fee.

I like this except... how about 20 or even 25%? That would be roughly equivalent to the income tax NOT paid.

Oh, don’t give it to congress! They’ll just waste it like they usually do.
