We need a 1% government. One that at all levels gets to Divy up 1 %of national productivity at the end of the year. No debt. No taxes. The gov gets to create 1% of the previous years productivity in new currency to run itself. When it runs out of money it has to wait til the next year.

This model would create such a massive economic boom that the gov would probably have more money than it does now in just a few years. Hard-linking gov income to economic productivity would stop government from just blocking everything.

Well it's hard to fake revenue. Surely there would be some scams by government but it would last for a while at least and let us recover a bit.

Anything with any capacity to tax is too big.

  • They're not real tax cuts, I think they wind up raising taxes for many people.

  • Cut spending? Yeahhh, riiiiiight.

Yeah my business is fucked under this new system. I lived and breathed line item deductions. Now I have to have a C Corp with like 4 subsidiary Companies? Naw. I'll quit and shut down. I'll be back when we have a single digit flat tax. Until then I'm taking my ball and going home.

Actually, looking at the structure of it, you can still run your deductions, but you might not have to, because the standard deduction might be higher. Only problem is if you live in a blue state.

Can you show me this somewhere? Or do I have to take your word for it?

Going over a list of changes... Looks like they took out a lot of the worst of it. Good. It'll still tend to penalize people in blue states, since they can no longer deduct state income taxes; you may think that's okay, but it's still a tax increase.
