Taxes


So government seems to be the big topic now of days,  well might as well throw my hat into the ring on this one.  Now like fifty percent of Americans I am a tax paying citizen.  Yes I said fifty percent,  there are only fifty percent of Americans paying taxes.  The other fifty percent is made up of tax dodging yuppies and people that just feel like everyone else should pay and they keep what ever they want.  They call the second of the two socialists in my book they are both socialists.  Part of being an American is paying taxes.  Now lets say on average an American (and honest one)  pays in 20 percent of his or her wages.  So you run the numbers of an average salary of forty thousand a year on fifty percent of America witch is roughly 150,000,000, that comes out to 1.2 trillion.  Now this s just a rough number this doesn’t include the current tax code brackets this is just a rough number.  So 1.2 trillion dollars, where does it go you might ask since we have over a trillion dollar debt and borrow 48 cents of every dollar. Well there are a number of government entities that do or offer the same service.  Well fare that has been abused for 30 years.  A billion of it is advocated to the 50 states for bridge and road programs.  Oh failed to mention bail outs.  Yes bail outs of banks and auto makers.  Now why did we bail the banks and auto makers out?  It makes more sense if you would have gave everyone in America 130,000 dollars.  Now with that money people would have paid cars and houses off thus stopping the  bank and auto bail outs.  I mean why not?  It was out money to begin with.   In the past 2 years some of the banks and one of the auto makers have paid back the money.  Now that this money is paid back somewhat the country is still struggling.  So to fix this problem we print 1 trillion in new money witch decreases the value of the great American dollar.  Now lets say you run out of money in the bank,  you need some you go to your basement or garage and print more, you would go to jail.  SO what gives the government the right to do it?  The United States government is as corrupt as the New York police department.  It does not matter what side of the isle you sit on more than likely you are corrupt if you are in D.C.  So as Americans we are tired of plans to fix the problems we need a solution and not a ten year solution because it will be impossible to hold future congress’ to the agreements made now.  We need a solution now.  So here is my solution.  A flat 3 percent federal sales tax.  Now before you roll your eyes wait.  Remember earlier when I said only 50 percent of Americans pay taxes with this instated it goes to 100 percent.  Everything you buy has a 3 percent tax for the federal government.  It takes away tax loopholes no one can dodge it not even church’s or non profit organizations.  Everyone is taxed so you can have a fare steak in this Great country now lets just run the numbers on a gallon of gas with a 3 percent tax.  Now this is taken on a 3 dollar a gallon average.  So in one year Americans’ use about 136 trillion gallons of gas now on a 3 dollar a gallon  that’s roughly 410 trillion dollars a year.  With a 3 percent tax that’s 12,318,750,000 in tax revenue a year in just gasoline alone.  Now with this flat tax you don’t pay labor taxes you don’t pay anything out of your check it all goes to you.  Wow what a thought a 28 yr old Texan with a 12th grade education fixed the revenue problem.
