9. Before WW2, only the top ten percent taxed
Another idea is Gen Clark's offered during the primaries... shift all off the middle class.

Another idea is the "clean step " tax idea. Same stepwise increases as today, but with all the complex deductions swept away.

Today's code is fully insane. Dont mince words. Future historians will laugh at us and also pity us.

GDP is ten Trillion.

Sales tax should be abolished. Regressive, and millions of man hours wasted on its brainless details. Totally garbage details that waste human thought-time.
