We need to limit the ability of Democrats to buy votes by placing middle-class tax caps in the federal constitution.

The high-income people have the Laffer Curve effect to protect them.

Enter in bills for two constitutional amendments:

FEDERAL PERSONAL INCOME TAX AMENDMENT

Federal taxation on personal income shall be progressively capped as follows:
below 20% of the median federal full-time civilian employee compensation amount, 10%,
below 50% of the median federal full-time civilian employee compensation amount, 22%,
below the median federal full-time civilian employee compensation amount, 30%,
below the average federal full-time civilian employee compensation of the 100,000 largest recipients, 35%,
below the average federal full-time civilian employee compensation of the 10,000 largest recipients, 40%.

RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY TAX AMENDMENT

Levies on any residential property of less than 2799 square feet of finished living space shall be no higher than the 2019 dollar amounts for the property, or for a newer or since resold property no higher than what it would have been levied at for 2019 if it lacked owner specific tax breaks, increased by 3% per calendar year since 2019 and by any percentage increase to its finished living space.

NOTE:

CPI (and its annual change in percent)
2018 247.867
2019 251.712 1.8
2020 257.971 1.2
2021 261.582 4.7
2022 281.148 8.0
2023 299.170 4.1
2024 308.417 2.9
2025 317.671 2.6
2026 325.252

Fighting in Congress to send middle-class income and property taxation cap constitutional amendments to the states would make Congress turn deep red come 2027.

These amendments would serve to reunite the United States.

Any action that shifts power to the Federal central government and away from state and local government is conceding to the Democrats.

The popular cutting of the Federal government is in cutting FRAUD WASTE ABUSE. We see it everywhere. We accept it as Business-As-Usual. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

There is merit to your proposal, however, I do not want Income Tax ensconced in the Constitution. It would be great to completely eliminate it one day and your amendment would prohibit that.
