Yes on the rich. Who do you think have been sucking money off the workers...........not just the government but the corporations. When the average CEO nowadays makes 1000 times the average worker something is wrong. Most worker pay doesn't even keep up with inflation in America. Anyone making a billion dollars a year should be taxed at 70%. I don't care if you are Bill Gates no one human being is worth a billion dollars nor do they create a billion dollars worth of value in an economy. Also you get rid of the speculative banks and financial institutions who keep inflating and destroying our money supply. Same thing happens with France. You cut the defense budget in half and bring our troops home. Close the 700+ bases we have in 100+ countries. You seal the southern border until we can get our country back in check. Let Mexico deal with their corruption. You decriminalize all drugs so you take the power away from drug cartels. I could go on and on. Our country (the USA) needs TRILLIONS of dollars invested just to MAINTAIN our infrastructure.....i.e. roads, bridges, etc. Yet we are building or have built a billion dollar record size embassy in Iraq! Yes something is very wrong with America..........very wrong! The politicians and the corporatists DONT CARE ABOUT AMERICA! They care about their pocket book............being American doesnt mean anything anymore. At least the French know what it means to be French. Let the employers pay for everything...........and if the French economy fails they can go back to eating cheese and drinking wine !
I am open to redoing the income tax brackets...
10% 0-15k - College, low-level employees
15% 15k-30k - Those living in poverty
25% 30k-80k - Most Americans
30% 80k-250k - Middle class Americans
35% 250k-550k - Upper middle Americans (the reason America is so great.. The Entrepreneurs)
40% 500k-1M - Wealthy Americans
60% 1M-5M - Extremely wealthy Americans
70% 5M+ - The a$$holes including celebrities, athletes, CEOs...
And then index everything to inflation... no deductions, no credits.. no any loopholes... anyone who wants to increase taxes will be uniformly increased percent to percent across the board...

LOL...I agree completely but unfortunately that will never work without some serious French style rioting and complete overhaul and up ending of our current government bureaucrats. Along with ending the Federal Reserve which needs to happen.
The retirement age has to be indexed to life expectancy.
That would be tough to do considering people die younger who are in bad health due to eating habits, genetics, whatever... I rather we just do away with "pensions" because they are outright theft on a massive scale... you want to retire then mandatory private accounts with X% in safe bonds (preferably tax free ones)....

I agree with that. You can't trust the government. Remember the Social Security was supposed to be in a lock box?
Are you serious ? Crack open a history book if you are.
OK, so they had a different agenda, but the French Revolution came after the American Revolution. And both got rid of their monarchies.
