    Just pay your fair share, stop hiding money.

    I have always been in favor of a flat escalating tax.

    simplify the tax code.

    Right thread

    Lots of people don’t get how certain occupations have different incomes
    And the fact the poster I exploited shows these people are just jealous and not understand economics and salary

    for example , the Houston Rockets
    I know you and I are fans
    Have employees that do the same thing
    Play basketball
    But they all have different salaries

    plus they wake wayyyyyyyyyy more money than assembly workers

    its
    Not
    Fair !!
    Waaaaaaaaa
    Waaaaaaaaa

    Eliminate the tax code, radically reduce the size of government, and pay for what remains with use fees and fines/penalties.

    Does that include radically reducing what exactly?

    The military?
    The police
    Fire department
    Public education?
    Healthcare?

    What exactly should society reduce?

    AOC has always been about saving the planet, that is what the GREEN NEW DEAL is all about.

    Try to keep up people!

    All of it. We should have the courts, a military (Army and Navy) sufficient to defend the homeland, postal service, the commerce department and other related agencies for regulating interstate commerce and commerce with foreign nations, Congress, the mint and the Secret Service, a copyright and patent office, and whatever is necessary for the governance of the District of Columbia. That is what the Constitution calls on the federal government to do.
