United States Quick Fix

How to fix the United States – First remove all current income and property taxes so that everyone is starting with much more their earned income. Then you abolish the IRS. Then have a sales tax on a federal, state and municipal level. Yes, everything you purchase would cost more but you would have more purchasing power because of your increased take home pay. By doing this you would capture extra revenue from tourists, foreigners, drug dealers, and illegal immigrants. You could then scale the tax so that it would be capped for necessary items like food but there would be much higher limits on “luxury items”. You then hold a constitutional convention and create a constitutional amendment requiring a balanced federal budget by law. Then you abolish the Federal Reserve and start drilling for oil like crazy in Alaska. Then you get the global economic powers to agree to create import tariffs on all countries like China that engage in unethical slave labor practices. Then you lower the corporate tax rate from one of the highest on the planet to one of the lowest. Then you will start to see an influx of manufacturing jobs back into the United States. Now the tax system is simple and fair. Everyone that wants a job in the United States can find one. And Vladimir Putin is over in a corner sobbing into his empty bottle of vodka! How hard was that? USA! USA! USA!
