Welcome to the United Corporations and Churches of America [UCCA] [ex-USA]
Where the Real Product is the Stock and
The True Customer is the Stockholder.
In god we trust, all others pay foreign loan shard interest.
Here is tax "reform".
1% transaction tax at the banking level.
NO exceptions, NO child care, NO wholesale
Wall Street pays [the is a boat load of the daily transactions].
NO NOTHING EVERYONE PAYS ! The end full stop.
Just 1 exemption, Intra-Banking transfers do not apply.
When your employer or you deposits your pay check 1% is sent to the tax system.
This is just a 1 sided tax on the ingress [incoming receiver] transaction.
It could also for a few years be 1% egress so sender and receiver pay.
So you buy food the business add 1% to your total.
We are done !
Between 5 and 15 Trillion run thorough the banking system each day.
1% of $5 Trillion per day * 5 day/week * 52 weeks/year == $13.5 TRILLION per year or 27 Trillion on in/out 2% total
Budget of 2018 estimate is $3.654T revenue and $4.094T expenditure = deficit $440B
So 13.5 revenue we have full funding of schools, education, health/drug care [like most modern countries] and put
the excess to paying the deficit [$315B interest per year].
So do you like paying $6,500 on $50,000 income or use this and pay $500 [ingress] or $1000 [ingress/egress]
Now get this to your congress-critters to DO YOUR JOB LIKE YOUR OATH TO THE CONSTITUTION DICTATES YOUR DO ! !

I can't take any more of this Drumpf/GOP bullshit...It's just too depressing!
