As far as I’m concerned, the people should never have any direct dealings with the federal government over how much money they make.
AMEN! It is none of their damn business. A national sales tax is the solution. For one thing, people would see exactly how much they are paying to the government and would be more likely to demand value for the money.
Not only will "the poor" finally pay their "fair share" but also drug dealers, criminals and politicians.
I would also eliminate all federal taxes on everything inc. gasoline, liqueur and tobacco, etc and collect ONLY the sales tax on those items.
You can’t get there in one step and this scandal isn’t big enough for that much change. They still control the minds of a sizeable minority/majority via government schools and the media.
If just 5% of what’s discussed on FR regarding the purpose of government, basic economics, basic science and our Constitution were taught in government schools we’d not be where we are today. Obama, Clinton, Carter et. al. would have been laughed out of elections.
It’s going to be a long road back and we need to control the Congress for a generation or two worth of Cruz’s.
