Beginning with the New Deal, the rich have been bludgeoned and intimidated into sacrificing more and more for the unfortunate, the lazy, liars, and idiots. Each and every day, more and more of their income has been seized by the republic to fund the ever expanding, unstoppable rush to support the welfare class.
Now set the time machine for the future. At some point one of two things must happen. Either Atlas will shrug, and the earners will drop out, causing the economy to collapse (I know the Obama left thinks this will cause the undeserving wealthy to be replaced in positions of power by historically oppressed gays and minorities, but this will fail, eventually resulting in government ownership of all industry, economic collapse, and the new American communism) - or America will find the political will to boot out the unruly, spitting children in power now and reform the government.
Now, many hardworking, successful people pay upwards of 50% of their income in all the various combined taxes. As regular readers will know, we consider working without pay slavery, as you are basically without choice or compensation for some percentage of your working life. So effectively, if you pay 33% of your income in taxes, you are a 33% slave.
So let me be the first to call for two things.
- Reparations to those unfairly taxed (and their heirs) by an unfair, oppressive tax system that singles out achievers for punishment. Reparations should be retroactive back to the New Deal.
- A constitutional amendment that forbids the taxation of the populace at any rate higher than 10% of their total income.
- A flat or fair consumption based tax that has no deductions, no exceptions, and in no way attempts to influence the behavior of the citizens
- Automatic 2% tax cuts every year, requiring Congress to vote for increases to maintain current funding levels.
- Automatic sunsetting and defunding of all new programs unless they show substantial progress in the first 4 years.
