Nice job on the Class warfare and introducing Socialist notions into the mix all in one fell swoop.
Here is an idea. How about no income tax at all and we only pay taxes when we buy something and it is only on new items in a place of business. If I sell my old guitar Uncle Sam nor the State of Ohio get squat (I already paid the taxes on it when I bought it!) Then we don't need deductions or tax brackets or tax lawyers. We don't need to hire accountants to deal with tax laws and instead we can have them help us deal with business issues like making more money by way of better management of our money.
As long as the Democrats are allowed to use taxes as a wedge issue we will have the mess we have now with overspending.
Repeal the Income Tax Amendment replace it with a Sales Tax Amendment and make it so the only way Congress can try and raise the rate is by "an eight thirds majority vote in both houses!" (translation: NEVER!)
How about a better idea: we get rid of all taxes and all government interference and enjoy a totally free market economy.
No rules, no checks, no balances--you do whatever you can get away with to be as rich as possible, letting the market place decide.
And you end up with feudalism.
