I don't know if I have an answer to this question. But I will say this it just seems like our government, congress finds new revenue streams for more taxes and more taxes. I feel like Gary Johnson had a good solution use a consumption tax and that would be it. I don't mind paying taxes for roads and schools and parks but when you get taxed on your cell phone bill to subsidize other people for free cells phones, come on, WTF? Pisses me off and makes my blood boil. I feel as a citizen who barely made about 20,000 last yer after taxes that I paid too much in taxes. I want accountability for all my taxes paid in or a demand a greater refund. I don't want my taxes paying foreign aid to enemies of the US. I don't want my taxes bailing out major corporations for making bad mistakes and then running to their buddies in congress to get bailouts. WTF? I remember Nancy Pelosi saying we have to pass the stimulus to find out what is in it. WTF? Stop the insanity and madness, no new taxes.
Capitation tax. Everyone pays the same amount. If anyone can't afford it because they've screwed up their own life, too bad.
In that case, governemt has no business imposing laws and regulations which drive up the cost of living for taxpayers. Which means a boatload of rules would have to be tossed. Good luck!
As long as you keep suggesting tax systems that take more from people than they get back from government, or give to people less than they pay in for, you're NEVER going to arrive at a scheme that people can agree is "fair".

Charlie.
Except that every consumption tax I've seen has loopholes large enough to drive a McMansion through.

Yep. That's exactly what has to happen.
And don't go into your home-buying rant. If you hadn't defaulted on your student loans and had actually planned to earn a degree in a field with marketable skills, you could easily buy one. You f*cked up. That's on you, not on anyone else. Live and learn. You had to learn the hard way.

Obama had to be laughing his ass off at people who bought into his tax the rich scam.
No kidding he even had Buffet involved in that B.S. and here we are 6 years later and nothing from Dear Leader yet the mindless Obama drones keep following the bread crumbs.. Dear Leader will NEVER bite the hand that feeds him like Obama drones will never bite the hand that feeds them.. The whole house of cards goes like this
The rich feed Obama... Obama feeds the entitlement crowd.. The entitlement crowd continues to vote for entitlements... the working class continues to get screwed..
