Topic: Taxes

- 2 basic issues: the taxes themselves  and  the taxation systems

- we are taxed multiple times on the money we earn

- the number of different taxes keeps increasing

- the level of complexity in determining if we are supposed to charge a tax as a business, or if we have to pay a tax, and if so to what extent and are there ways to get around the tax - the complexity is so high we need a team of lawyers and tax accountants to figure it out. Plus the regulations constantly change and difficult to keep straight what the rules are. That's just not right.

- too many layers of government and agencies to report to

- tax system not fair in many ways

- government keeps growing and needing more funding for itself plus for all the new programs it keeps creating. this needs to stop and be reversed.

- government overspending and borrowing money, and a large % of our taxes go to pay the interest 

- 

-    ONE TAX

- Every person or entity that earns income pays an equal percentage from their pay. Possibly 25% ?

- no loopholes, no special circumstances, no one-time , no guidebooks on how to interpret the tax laws

- No other taxes, like:   property tax, gasoline, shopping, cars, utilities, inheritance, sale of your personal property and possessions, 

- No fees for government services

- the federal gov collects the taxes and distributes them to he other levels of government based on a percentage share. This share needs to be worked out but remember that another change is that we are shrinking government jurisdictional overlaps so there will be fewer agencies with their hands out.

- the tax % never increases

- government is required to save a minimum of 5% each year for  emergencies that are greater than the amount allowed for in the budget  (war, natural disasters, ...)
