I believe that there is no one way of tax form, either it be flat vat national sales tax or progressive no one way will ever satisfy all the needs of everyone and generate enough money for the revenue to even attack the deficit. It is in my belief, that if we were to form a combination of all four of these would be the best way to go. For income tax, say you have to make an X amount of money before you reach a bracket (or percentage of how much you have to pay for taxes) and then instead of how our system works where everyone gets to pay higher taxes as you make more money, you wouldn't have to pay anymore once you reach the top percentage of how much you pay. It wouldn't matter if you started making billions of money, you would still only have to pay that certain percentage. On top of combining the flat tax with progressive, i believe that all luxury items, such as cars, owning exotic animals as pets, things that are just no necessary to living, should have a national sales tax on them. I also think that if we went by also having a VAT tax, then we could still generate a good amount of money for the government combining all four of these.
2. Review on where the Government Retrieves from
I do not think that we are taxing major companies enough. I understand that if you tax them too much they will outsource and I wish people weren't like that, but I really don't think that the major companies are paying enough in taxes. Companies are already outsourcing and they should be taxed and punished for doing that to begin with. But that would be for a world where everyone treated each other equally. As for the world we live in today, there isn't really much to argue with and I am in a corner where I have to say that I agree with how we are generating our money.
3. Review on how the Government Spends
I don't think we should be spending so much money in defense. Congress never said that we were in a war to begin with and the way public relations are, I do not believe that there is any necessary reason to be investing in new weapons of death due to how we can talk things out with the other countries which we have before and continue to do. I don't think that we should be in Afghanistan and that we should spend money in defense only to get our soldiers back home.
4. What I did to lower the Deficit.
Pretty much I screwed a lot of people. I way lowered the amount of money invested into the defense systems. I cut the mortgages interest rates on houses over the taxes on home. I raised the retirement age. And added a progressive form of medi-care for the more wealthy citizens, as well as I got rid of what ever I thought the federal government should have no investments in, like keeping the one dollar bill around and eliminating any federal government investing in the arts. I didn't think these were important for the government because I believe that the government should just place what is right and what is wrong. This means that they should help out those in need. Not the arts. Or keeping the one dollar bill because it is part of history. So are dollar coins and you don't see many of those around either. The paper says that the total deficit reduction is $6.0 T and that I finished with a $1.0 trillion deficit. So you can see that I really am not trying to be ran for president again haha
5. Symbol
("Peace Symbol History." Peace Symbol History. N.p., n.d. Web. 17 May 2013.) I chose this as my symbol because I believe that most of our money goes to the war that doesn't really exist. I think that shady people working the system are whats wrong with having deductions that are in place to help those in need are why the progressive system isn't working to its fullest potential, and I strongly believe that greedy people are the reason as to why our deficit is so huge and so many people are totally screwed when it comes to their taxes, like the rich. I chose a peace symbol because if everyone just worked with the right intentions and got along none of these problems would be happening. If there were to ever be a way for everyone to just be honest and fair, we wouldn't have any of the problems we are suffering though today.
