Are you listening to the junk that Washington is spewing these days? I know that politicians are always making a big deal out of little things and down playing big things so they are always casting themselves in the best light, but come on!
Let's take jobs for instance ... the White House says that Congress is being lazy and if they don't pass the JOBS BILL, all is lost and it's Congress's fault. Congress says that the White house is going to tax those that can afford to create jobs and make it less attractive for growth. The White House says that we have to tax the rich to correct the budget and give relief to the working class, the Congress says we need to stop spending on social programs and let the wealthy create more wealth and create jobs. Who do you believe?
Being the social genius that I am ... I have come up with a plan that will fix everything. First off, we should level the field ... I pay taxes and I pay for my own health insurance. So I would say that everyone else should have to do that too. Including congress and the president ... We as a nation spend billions on the health care of our employees and well ... nobody else is getting that so they shouldn't either. The one exception should be our military and police forces ... we need them in top physical shape and we don't pay them enough.
On taxes I see a flat tax on income as a fair compromise. Eliminate the tax brackets, loop holes and all the infrastructure that manages that ... everyone pays a flat percentage of their income no matter how much they make or where the income is being generated from. Then the only IRS function would be to make sure that all income was reported and the bill paid ... no more tax returns, no more audits, no more huge cost from 106,000 employees. The projected budget for the IRS in 2011 is just over 12 and a half billion dollars.
Once the President and Congressmen are forced to pay taxes and 100% of their health insurance premiums they'll figure out the least painful path for us all.
There you have it ... all fixed, I lessened the expenses, increased the income and leveled the playing field for everyone in one fell swoop!
Next victim!
