3-Page National Sales Tax:-1% Universal Medicare, 1% Deficit, 1% Debt, 20% Max Business & Personal Tax
33. Mandate annual tax filing for all citizens, legal or not, income earned or not, to be used as basis for public assistance, annual census, and as basis for a Medicare version of Universal HealthCare, funded as a by-product of the National Sales Tax (#36). Graduated Income Tax tables (#49) should be identical for corporate, partnership, individual filing; charitable and non-profits. Eliminate all tax loopholes and subsidies.
34. On 1040 charge $1 for each person listed to create annual census count. Total dollars charged equal total legal population that can be further refined by city, state, zip, etc.
35. Make employee paid health premiums deductible from taxable income in addition to STANDARD DEDUCTION; on parity with non-taxable employer paid health insurance.
36. Institute a 3% National Sales Tax (NST) with NO exceptions for resale, charity, non-profits, religious, education, or government. The many cannot be continually supported by the diminishing few. A 3% NST may raise up to $7 Trillion annually, double the current budget, reduce national debt, spread tax burden to all residents, legal or not. Allocation: the 1st 1% toward Budget, the 2nd 1% toward debt reduction, the 3rd 1% for Universal Medicare (UMC identical to Medicare plus monthly) for all legal residents.
37. Dedicate first 1% NST to Universal Medicare to automatically eliminate most State Medicaid benefit requirements, costs, and overhead. State Medicaid mandated costs are virtually eliminated, reducing State budget shortfalls and tax requirements.
38. According to a 7/6/10 analysis by attorney Lanny Davis published in The Hill, there were $755 Trillion in total t***sactions in the U.S. in 2008; $443 Trillion if exempting stock t***sactions. Accordingly NST on stock market t***sactions should be set at 1/2 of 1%, beating the International movement toward the inevitability of this type of tax. This 1/2% stock market t***saction tax will inhibit the negative and controversial effects of High Frequency Trading (HFT) that causes artificial volatility as traders execute trades in milliseconds capitalizing on penny spreads and t***saction speeds in the blink of an eye, not available to ordinary investors. HFT operates in a betting parlor atmosphere that is more gambling than investing, and may eventually be the vehicle to collapse the market as it already has on one fateful day when HFT was a contributing factor in the flash crash of May 6, 2010. Reuters reported that a computer-driven sale worth $4.1 billion by money manager Waddell & Reed Financial Inc. triggered the May flash crash that set off liquidity shocks that created havoc, instantly wiping out substantial stock market values before anyone knew what happened and why. A report exposed the relationship between E-Mini Standard & Poor's 500 futures and S&P 500 SPDR exchange-traded funds detailing how HFT algorithmic trading saps liquidity and rocks the marketplace.
Memo: US receives $200 Billion monthly revenue; $2.4 Trillion annually; spends about $320 billion monthly, $3.84 Trillion annually, creating $1.4 Trillion annual deficit.
39. There should be no exemption for sales of any product or service whether for Resale, Church, Government, Education, Private or Public organizations; Imports, Cash, or assets t***sferred out of the country, including corporate t***sfers to foreign subsidiaries; Tax On-Line sales and sellers, EBay, Private sellers, Barter, PayPal and Credit Card Companies. Payment Clearing Banks would be depositories for NST, similar to deposits of payroll taxes while Government 3% tax payments are to be used for that particular government debt reduction.
41. An estimated 48%+ of citizens pay no Income Tax while 24%+ do not pay Payroll Tax. This jeopardizes a Balanced Budget as too large a number of households owe nothing in federal taxes, casting an ever increasing burden on the diminishing number of actual tax payers, a situation that is not sustainable. The 3% National Sales Tax will level the playing field by spreading the burden to all and give new life to the Bible story of the Widows Mite, who gave her last two coins, and biblical tithing that is the same for all, large or small, rich or poor.
42. Money and benefits received for NOT working should not be tax-free or treated differently than the same amount of wages and benefits received by actual workers. There are documented cases of welfare recipients benefiting unfairly by having benefits equal to an actual workers wages but employees must pay taxes and benefits out of their wages and the equivalent Earnings to a welfare recipient are free of any of those charges.
43. A welfare recipient receiving $30,000 in BENEFITS receives substantially more than a taxpayer earning $30,000 because taxpayers pay Federal, State and Local taxes, and work-related expense while Welfare recipients get a free ride without related costs of working. Housing grants, food stamps, medical benefits, and other benefits must be paid for by the taxpayer worker who is penalized for working.
47. Taxable Income Schedule For Individuals & Corporations After deducting personal exemptions $5,000 each, plus basic Standard Deduction of $10,000 plus cost of medical insurance paid, plus additional 5% on Income over $100,000; in lieu of itemization. Treat all income alike; Remove all income distinctions; earned; unearned; capital gains, etc and remove ALL loopholes, personal and business.
50. Corporate tax rates should be identical to the above modified Personal Taxable Income Schedule except for personal exemptions, personal itemized deductions, and standard deductions. All industry specific deductions should be eliminated.
51. Dividends paid would be deductible;
52. Disallowance for funding or contributions to Foundations;
