Instead of spending billions of tax dollars on programs, just send every American 1 million dollars and let them spend or invest it. But then the politicans would lost the power over the people. It would only take 300 million dollars.
And the death or emigration of 299,999,700 Americans.
I read a study (looked for the reference, but I couldn't find it again so I unfortunately don't have a link) that suggests getting rid of the income tax completely and imposing a flat tax on all purchases. I forget the number which was suggested, but say we have a 15% tax on every dollar spent and no income tax. Thoughts?
Our kids are about to inherit a huge debt that could cripple this nation. The spending planned for the next 20 years and the entitlement of social security for the baby boomer's will dig my grandkids such a hole they may never recover.
There is no way a tax increase on the top 5 wealthy people in the US will make up this deficit so we need to increase the tax rate for every American Family at least 20%. That includes Joe the Bus driver making $25k a year
Let's spread the agony around to everyone not just a select few.
Wait till we add the global warming scam payoff and free college and healthcare for everyone in the U.S.

Can you back up a few steps and provide some factual basis for your argument.
When you start adding trillions to the national debt and throw in a social security system that on the road to ruin, it doesn't take a rocket scientist. The interest alone should be a wake up call.
I'm not sure they make calculators that can add trillions of dollars. What comes after trillions, gazillions ? Sounds like a project for Big Blue.
The IRS database should be merged with voting records. Those that voted for Obama should pay for his excesses.
Hell i've been paying for Bush's for 8 years and i didn't vote for him.
