So make it a flat tax. 10% of EVERYTHING. You make 10 grand, send in one grand. You make 10 million, send in one million. No deductions, no adjustments. No body gets out of paying. Then start doing away with all the excise taxes. And all the things they fund. No tax on phones to pay for cheap internet at the library. No cheap internet at the library. If it is important to them, let them put in a local tax to pay for it. In fact, don't give any money to localities. Feds pay for Fed things, States pay for State things, localities pay for local things.
