Let’s just have a 15% fair tax and get it over with.
Not sure what a "fair tax" is. I DO believe that every person in the country should have 15% taken from their paycheck. Period. Other than the first 20K tax-free, there should be NO deductions, NO rebates, NO EIC, NO exceptions.
AND the US should NEVER be allowed to spend more than they have. NO projections. 15% flows into the coffers, what's IN the coffers is all you can spend! Don't come to me crying about your pet project, I don't care.
Out of those coffers, the first thing you pay for is defense. Period. Not childcare, not welfare, not medicare, not someone's mortgage payment, not AIDS in Africa, not the UN, not world poverty. After that you can fund infrastructure, let's not have any more bridges falling down, please.
Can anyone explain to me why they passed this "bailout" without cutting expenses? Cut ALL funds going overseas (except the war) and pay for the dem follies, quit RAPING my wallet!
