I sent this to everyone I have in government.....great idea
A better idea would be a true flat income tax with no deductions. Simple, easy to enforce, and drastically fairer than the tiered "soak the rich" scheme we have now.
Even better yet would be a simple National Retail Sales Tax. By default, it gives control of taxes to the individual, the collection infrastructure is in place nearly everywhere, and foreign-made goods are taxed at the same level as American-made goods, meaning that instead of unfairly taxing American labor as an income tax does, it spreads the load to all the world's labor.
