Make the tax rate 15% period. Not index, no deductions, no “earned tax credits” nothing. If people want to vote to increase the rate, it applies to everyone equally including themselves.
Or...
If you have a minimum threshold that is indexed to inflation then those who fall under it have no federal vote that year period.
Those are the ONLY ways to have an ethical vote. No more voting to tax someone else for what you want. That is the base source of our governmental problems. The founding father recognized that and only allowed those who paid taxes to vote and those were essentially the land owners.
I don’t know. 15% of $10,000 is $1500. That its too much for to pay. How about no vote allowed for people living off the government?
