Tax them all I say!

Tax them all I say! I heard a commentator from some Democratic league this morning comparing current times to the close of World War II and saying that the top earners should be taxed up to 90% of their income. Really? Hmm, let’s see how this works. The harder you work and the more money you make, the more the government takes from you. So if you follow that to its logical conclusion, why would anyone want to make money? If out of all the money you work for you get to keep 10%, hell let’s say 40%, then why work? You’re working to pay taxes. That is absurd. Instead of this asinine focus on taxing income, i.e. the reward for work, you taxed expense, i.e. what you buy, you’d not only create a fair taxation system but you would immediately reduce class warfare and encourage people to earn more.

Now why would the government HATE this type of tax system? It is simple, it makes it impossible for them to spend more than they take in and create long term spending projections. By not allowing them to guarantee you’ll pay them, you..the CITIZEN..have all the power. Hmm, sort of the way the Constitution intended. Remember, the Constitution simply gives the Congress the “ability” to tax, it doesn’t dictate how.

If Congress really cared about doing what is right, fair share all, they would minimize the income tax to something simple, say a standard 5% across the board with zero deductions. They would then create a federal sales tax, say 13%. That way everyone evading the current income taxation structure is now caught by the sales tax procedures and the average middle-class worker controls their own fate financially. Now what you will inevitably hear from Democrats is "this disproportionately hits the poor", well, the "poor" are very well covered by a multitude of programs. All this does is force a truly poor person to pass on the flat-panel TV and cell phone. Republicans will go on about how something like this would increase "gas prices", which is true, however, you're not paying tens of thousands in income tax anymore so your disposable income is vastly increased and exponentially compared to the rise of products.

It makes sense, and that my friend is the problem. Remember, all workers pay tax, usually..sales tax at some point. So the State in this case has a better method; lower income tax, higher sales tax. That formula is guaranteed to work. If we could just get a group of leaders that led, instead of managed, we’d be in a much better spot financially.
