As a now retired former primarily diagnostic industrial electrician on mostly production shifts American male who once earned above average wages and paid above average taxes as a divorced non-custodial parent, and always calculated and filed my own income taxes for about four decades before retiring early on disability, with overlapping decades of externally imposed chronic illness and failed litigation of a still uncompensated partially disabling low back injury, I have spent many hours through the years working with the changing income tax code and determining for myself how almost all of the changes primarily benefited the undeserving rich (e.g., Ronald Reagan’s ‘trickle down economy’ tax cuts for the rich).
A national sales tax, whether administered by the federal government or the individual states, will not only perpetuate inherently illegal (e.g., US Constitution) unfair and unjust taxation of the too often injured, disabled and/or killed citizens and/or military personnel and/or their families, magnitudes worse than mere ‘investors’ (domestic and foreign?) who will most likely spend most of their unearned profits in low sales tax jurisdictions instead of making themselves subject to an inherently inflationary and unstable sales tax.
Admittedly incomplete math, I propose that abolishing all existing domestic taxation and imposing a new flat rate 10% income tax (no filing required for single job workers) on all earned income and a flat rate 90% on most unearned income would probably suffice. Administered by either the federal government or the individual states, it would be shared proportionately based on a number of factors to be determined through existing public records. And, it would be best to establish such a system through a constitutional amendment, so the rich could no long manipulate the system in their favor through their bought-and-paid-for pawns and puppets in various public offices, as they presently do.
What would be the effect on the economy if the income tax were eliminated and nothing replaced it? What I am suggesting is that income tax is not only unnecessary rather it is the icing on the cake for politicians to spend on frivolous items that repay favors. Does the Constitution allow for an income tax?
