I like a simple flat tax….
Federal flat tax
0k to 20k 5%
20k to 50K 10%
50k to 100k 15%
100k to 200k 18%
Anything over 200k should pay 20%
No deductions allowed!
Also a VAT on all purchases of 8% for the states and cities to create income.
We would save hundreds of billions on advice and accountants this way….
We need to reduce the spending, that is the real issue!
