The logic is that it is hard for anyone to argue against such an action.
1. A constitutional amendment that the Federal government could only spend...say 7% (percentage is up for debate) of our combined gross incomes. So if you add up what we make in a year and and it comes to $100, the government could spend $7.00. No more.

3. No deductions for the individual taxpayer except for charitable contributions.
4. EVERYONE pays, regardless of whether they make $1.00 a year or $1 billion a year.
Nobody pays, they bill the states for the services they choose. The states are the highest taxing authority except for tarrifs.
