Flat tax - implode current tax rules

Economy

  1. Flat tax every individual the same %. “Fair”
  2. Eliminate all loopholes and deductions. “Simple”
  3. Eliminate the majority of the IRS agents since audits should be incredibly simplified and straightforward. Oh, and by the way, disarm any IRS agents that remain. This is completely inappropriate and they are not trained for this. “Eliminate waste-salaries”
  4. This ensures everyone “pays their fair share” and eliminates perception that the rich don’t pay enough.
  5. If any particular group advocates for higher taxes, they will understand that it will affect everyone proportionately. No more “we/they”. We are all in it together.
  6. Not sure if this exists, but there needs to be an oversight committee monitoring the IRS agents to audit their work to ensure that they are not targeting and bullying certain groups or individuals. “Transparency”

We could eliminate the IRS altogether. If everyone is paying their taxes as they spend their money there is no need for audits. What level of oversight needed could probably be done by the General Accounting Office. No tax on food or prescription drugs.
