How much would that be? 40%? That still close to $5 trillion.

How will willingly pay $5 trillion of taxes after all the hard work only to watch everybody else living of their work for free?



Subtract 2 - 3 trillion worth of welfare, unemployment benefits, the minimum wage, social security, etc and it suddenly starts looking feasible. Expensive, yes, but feasible.


Please help me understand this. You promise to pay someone $x, but you will only pay $x-90%(say $y)

The person receiving $y is actually getting it from the very taxes they pay. So essentially what you are giving them is a tax discount. Except in cases where a person makes $0, for which you have social security anyway.

So this is basically a tax discount? You could simply say based on their income some a% of tax discount will be offered every year.
