I pay more than that now.
If you go back and read the history of the tax code in the United States of america, you will see that it has been completely dominated by large businesses and Wealthy individuals. It’s not going to change anytime soon. Both Trump and DeSantis know this.
The real fix is to repeal the 17th Amendment and return a check and balance on the Senate. Till that occurs, the parties, the lobbyists, and those who have big money will dominate fedzilla.
It’s time for a Convention of States to repeal the 17th Amendment and eliminate the Senior Executive Service.
Our Founding Father’s were not stupid!
After a few years of fair tax you would be lucky not to pay even more.
Initial taxation rates would inevitably rise. Without fiscal restraint & fierce pruning of bureaucracy, changing to fair tax would just exchange one tax monster for another.
The IRS is a monster but I do not think it can be terminated in 1 step. As choice & responsibilities are returned to the States we have 50 labs to work out cost effective and efficient ways of governing while allowing personal freedom to flourish. The IRS should be cut to the bone at the same time as the Federal costs drop. First step would be to continue the move of all possible federal agencies to lower cost regions.
Not oniy that. but the 23% (not 30%) would only be paid on new purchases. Income used to byused goods or saved would not be taxed at all
