Fair tax (national sales tax) to replace income taxes and payroll taxes.

Requires repeal of the 16th Amendment and Tax Code (as well as significant downsizing of IRS) as well as a balanced budget amendment.

17% on everything except food/medicine (those will be 10%).

Now EVERYONE has skin in the game.

Of which percentage currently pay jack squat as of now


Income only. They still pay some consumption taxes as well as other taxes.

Get rid of income tax altogether.

What we need to do is someone who before entering politics was a well known businessman who can run things. Then he can hire a wiz-kid younger guy but someone who also knows all the new things going on in technology, I dunno, someone like Elon Musk, and tell him to root out fraud and corrpution in the government. That should solve everything


I like this plan. If only we could garauntee that this whiz kid would have access to every corner of our federal spending.

The only "fair" tax is a consumption tax.



That's what the FairTax is and to be honest, so are tariffs.

Update, the defense budget is 1 trillion now.

He wants a 50% increase to 1.5 trilli now, along with never passing an audit.

But, fixing health care is a no, Ya Catchin?
