WE ARE NOT ON THE LEFT
and
TAXATION
The “far” left isn’t. The so called “far left” is the point at which everyone is equal, just like it says in the Declaration of Independence.
When you are at this point of total equality, the only other direction that you can move in is to the right. We are at the center.
We are at the center
Everyone not with us has taken at least one step to the right. The wingnuts have decided to move so far to the right, they make Attila the Hun look like a communist.
Fair Taxation
As you continue reading this, I ask that you embrace ONE essential requirement. NO exceptions. One SINGLE exception opens the door to the destruction of what you are about to read.
We've never had an "Income tax". We need an "Income" tax.
Proposed:
Eliminate all deductions, exemptions, exceptions, depletion allowances, CostOfBusiness, etc. NO ONE DEDUCTS ANYTHING. You want to have 17 kids? Go ahead. But I see no reason why I should support them.
EVERYONE pays tax. Churches, 501Cs, EVERYONE. And as a former Presidential hopeful put it, "Corporations are people too." So be it.
The IRS gathers income information (which is now defined as ALL income) and applies a simple formula;
If you make 10% of all of the money, you pay 10% of all of the taxes. If you make 0.000000001% of all of the money, you pay 0.000000001% of all of the taxes.
Since ALL income is taxed with no exceptions, this equates to true equal taxation.
And if a corporation (or individual) decides to offshore some money (after they pay the taxes first), tell the receiving country that they can just keep it.
Finally, I’m a war veteran and a technical guy. IANAL. I don’t know the proper format in which this should be framed. So if any of our Constitutional law experts want to run with this, please do.
Remember, this will fail if ONE SINGLE exception is allowed. DO NOT INSERT ANY EXCEPTIONS! You may, of course, add any entities that I may have missed. Please plagiarize this; I need neither acknowledgement nor any kind of credit. Just get it done.
