TAX-- SIMPLE MATH
gdp=13,000
national income=10,000
national consumer spending=9,000
budget=3,000

Cover budget=30% of national income
Cover budget=33% consumer spending

Candidate 17% sales tax?
.17 X 9,000=1530
1470 short of covering budget

Oh! I forgot.
A conservative
Spend & Borrow
So just borrow 1470

Two figures
Total Income X Rate=Pay up

No deductions
Let us locate True Christians-Philanthropists
No more I give what I can deduct.

Warren Buffett will pay more than 17%.
