The tax code is ridiculously bias towards the rich, and deliberately confusing to take advantage of the working class!
Taxes should be based on a flat figure, across the board, with no deductions that do not directly reduce the burden considered as legitimate expenses on the government! If deductions are deemed necessary for items like homes, to help boost the economy or market, it should be one per customer. The only other reason I could see providing a deduction to an employer would be to create jobs that pay 50% above the poverty line (minimum) to keep American’s working with a livable wage in America.
They are used and spent for the benefit of the people spending them, rather than the people paying them!
Lobbyists should be considered the largest threat to our government, and they need to be shot on sight if ever found within 300 yards of any public building (s), a public officials, or the employee/family member of a pubic official! Public officials found to be consorting/associating/colluding with lobbyists, should be considered traitors and prosecuted accordingly as such!
You always hear that if it wasn’t for the government, wages would be much higher, so all money’s employers "claim" to be giving the government will now be given to their employees (and taxed at that flat basic rate) as it should be and that tax obligation to the employer considered paid in full (no deductions)!
All federal BS taxes on cigs, alcohol, gas, etc… should be eliminated immediately if not sooner.
Anyone found to be cheating the government out of their due tax, will lose all properties and assets, they will be stripped of all citizenship, and banned from U.S. soil for the rest of their natural life!
I personally would also like to see that lawmakers decide on what will be voted into law for each quarterly session and place those items on a public ballet explaining them in their entirety on a pubic web site, and voted on by the people (citizens 18 and over) to be instituted as law!
I guess if we are going to be allowed to wish something that will never come true we might as well wish big!
