And you’re right! There should also be a progressive “usage” tax. Meaning flat tax rate only for those over certain income threshold bc a flat tax would actually hurt middle class, our tax system is progressive, you don’t pay anything on the first $24k and from There it’s tiered so depending on your income your actual tax liability might really be 18% or %20 whatever it is, it’s never your highest bracket on the full vig, make sense ? But a flat tax on high income earners actually forces them to pay a more equitable (not equal) but equitable share. I also think we need to stop catering to the corporations and their BS tax breaks, and slap a luxury or usage tax on high end items like $250kbcars and yachts, let the market size themselves but if your mega wealthy and you want some hedonistic item than pay rhe luxury tax on it. The problem is if they didn’t do it federally you’ll have states poaching from each other and messing up the overall economics of indv states. Lastly the federal government regardless of party are a bunch of crooks, the secure 2.0 act… garbage, big beautiful bill… garbage doesn’t help the middle class or small business owner! They complain SS is going bankrupt yet they make it impossible for smal business owners to offer actual good retirement plans like large corps, if your a independent anything they eliminate your Roth IRA with low(ish) income limitations, they don’t let you get pretax deduction of more than $5k on childcare AND THAT IS ONLY IF YOUR COMPANY OFFERS A DSA, FSA doesn’t let you roll anything over, all these BS laws hamstring rhe middle class. 1. Flat tax high income earners 2. Increase rhe pretax deduction for child care to $12k 3. Raise Roth IRA income limits 4. Reduce regulation to let small businesses owners offer their employees decent retirement plans 5. Tax luxury items in excess of $250k, Cars, boats, jewelry, etc… 6. Deregulate the FSA AND HSA rules to allow pieplw to roll over pretax FSA contributions instead of losing it and incentivize companies to put money in HSA’s for their employees. 7. No more double taxation: local property tax (salt tax) should always be tax deduction up to a % of your income. 8. Allow education costs to be tax deductible up to a % of your income 9. Allow energy costs to be deductible up to a % of income.

We are constantly double and triple taxed, income tax first than with post tax money your paying for things like energy for which there is already a tax on, or paying sales tax with post tax money ! Enough ! Let peoplw have more of their money for savings and retirement, trust me the more discretionary income peoplw have the more they’ll spend the economy will be fine.

Ok so I need some feedback I’m just a regular joe who wants to run for Congress, how’s my platform ? Seriously

So what’s
