The New and Simplified tax structure.

.

There is a lot of talk - or should I say debate, - or maybe I should say arguments - these days about the tax structure.

The debate is that some want to raise taxes on the 'rich' and some do not. Some think that everyone should pay tax, as some do not pay any tax at all. Others feel that the middle class carries the blunt of the tax bill. (Which appears to be not true as the 'middle class' only - choke, choke - pays 29% of the taxes - see table below)

There is a report published (elsewhere) that states 10% of earners paid 71% of all income taxes. This same report noted that 51% of earners paid NO income taxes.

Therefore, if

 10% paid 71% of taxes and

 51% paid 0% taxes then that means that

39% paid 29% of taxes.

It seems like these arguments just keep going on and on and on.

 Just the other day, while daydreaming and rocking away on the front porch, it suddenly struck me. Ah... a simple solution that will result in a win, win, win situation for all.

Now, it could be that the 10% who paid 71% of the taxes are to be considered "The Wealthy" (more commonly referred to as the 'rich'), and the 51% that paid 0% taxes could be considered "The Non-wealthy" (more commonly referred to as the 'poor'). That leaves the other 39%, who could be considered "The Neither" (more commonly referred to as the 'middle class'.

So... how to solve and make everyone happy.

It is so simple...

Rather than raise the tax on the 'rich', and at the same time devise a way that the 'poor' who do not pay any tax at all can now pay their fair share, and also lower the tax burden on the 'middle class'. It will work like this...

 

Each of the 10% 'rich' is assigned a given number of Surrogates from the 51% group of the 'poor'. This could be done through a lottery in order to avoid discrimination. The 'rich' then give a proportional percentage of their money to each of the Surrogates, in such a manner that the 'poor' are then promoted to the 'middle class', and the rich person is promoted to the class of the 'poor'.

Now that means that there will be 90% who are now in the 'middle class' as opposed to the previous 39%. Since there are now 51% more in the 'middle class' the 'middle class' tax burden can lowered.

The result is as I said. A win, win, win.

The 'rich' win as they no longer are burdened by being hounded to pay higher and higher taxes.

The 'poor' win as they no longer endure the complaints of the 'rich' about not having paid any tax.

The 'middle class' win as their tax burden is now reduced due to the increased pool of 'middle class' taxpayers.

And to top it all off (the icing on the cake - so to speak), "BIG" (as in Big Government) also wins as they will receive more tax than before.

Now, as you see this is a very simple program, but will still need to be managed and administrated by 'someone'. Who better to do this than "BIG". They have the experience, and they soon will have more of your money. A new division could be created called The 'Government Institute For Trading' or simply "GIFT".

Please tell your Congressmen and or Congresswomen of this concept. I think once they see it they will jump right to it, rush it through the Senate, get it signed by the president, and off we go. Debt reduction, Balanced budget, controlled spending, and on and on and on.

 Happy days are here again...
