Trickle Down Taxation

Income taxes, whether on individuals or companies, are stupid economic policy. Taxes are a form of punishment used to fund the operation of the government, does punishing hard work (income) sound like a good idea? The founders of the United States understood that income taxes were a very bad idea and specifically forbid them in the US Constitution. The progressive politics of the early 1900's fixed that with the 16th Amendment and also passes the other bad amendments of the period.

Taxes on corporations are just passed on to the customer that purchases the products of that company. If that customer is another business it adds on its taxes and passes it along until it gets to the final consumer of the product. It is time to replace all taxation at the Federal and State level with a single rate Personal Consumption Tax on all products and personal services consumed by every individual in private and business transactions, paid for by the individual. This is the only form of taxation that would actually treat every citizen equally to all other citizens.

Federal domestic spending, which makes up 60% of current federal spending, should be equalized per capita to the congressional district level. Each congressman should also be given equal per capita vote in how Federal spending is allocated.

It is time to enforce the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment and return spending control to congressional district in accordance with the 10th Amendment.

Congressional District Level Secession, Start the Peaceful Revolution.
