Eliminating Income Tax:
The income tax was originally proposed as a temporary, 3% tax in 1913.
There is so much overspending in government. Between cutting the fat out of government agencies, balanced budgets, tariffs, etc, there is no reason this tax cannot be eliminated (along with most other taxes). Take home pay would increase dramatically, giving more spending power to the people, resulting in a stimulated economy.
Flat Tax:
Second, introducing a flat tax across the board (10-15%) with minimal incentives would force higher income taxpayers to still pay an adequate amount, while being fair to lower earners. This is “paying your fair share” in a reasonable way.
Consumption Tax:
Thirdly, a flat consumption tax (like in some European countries) would be an easy way for government to fill the gap from what was once taken from the people. It also enables people to choose how much they are taxed.
