I don't know kane.
I just think that a LOT of people (tens of millions...maybe a couple of hundred million) in the U.S. would view govt. differently if they actually had to write that check each quarter.
As far as ending up in debt to the IRS... I suspect that neither govt. or taxes would be allowed to be the size they are now IF people had to actually write that check.
I believe that our local, state, and federal govt's could do all the infrastructure and all of the actual things that our society NEEDS it's govt. to do without needing to spend 11 BILLION dollars every day.
And if people had to write that check, I'm just saying I'm going to guess that politicians would have to change their song and dance or be voted out.
That's why I don't think people would end up in debt to the IRS. I believe that the tax rate would go WAY down.
Maybe even a national sales tax.
Don't forget that an income tax was illegal and unconstitutional up until the early 1900's (with the exception of the civil war).
Congress MADE it a part of the constitution (convenient for them).
But it was never needed to just run the country.
It's needed now to make billionaires out of defense contractors and millionaires out of politicians and their cronies.
