You have it right! It’s a capital based model where income is the main driver of the economy where everyone puts in and the IRS/Fed monitors the economic activity of the country while allowing you to keep more of your money.

You did not answer my question about fairness to workers, and in that lack of answer I have my answer: you are anti-worker and prefer a system that rewards people who are already wealthy even more than they are rewarded now.

When you see someone like Jeff Bezos paying an effective tax rate of 12% you want that rate to be zero, while the median worker is getting a tax hike paying 50% ($600 per week is about half the median weekly individual income).

You’ve also made the tax so flat that it disregards regional economic differences. If you live in Alabama you’re paying a wildly higher tax rate than if you live in California. (You gave the example of $600 rather than a percent, please correct if you meant something else)

You call it an income-driven economy but only the income of the people doing labor is taxed.

If anything you’re doubling down on the most flawed aspects of our current system, introducing insane new ones, and possibly the most annoying bit is you seem to have zero interest in making even the most half-hearted elevator pitch as to how this could possibly make life better for the 99%.

Dangus, the plan helps workers by removing the taxes from being pulled from their check because Federal taxes are like 50 percent and I’m a worker at work typing this while juggling boxes so I that’s why I came here but take this example if a person or company just made 1 billion dollars and if flipped means 9 billion which means 4.5 billion of that goes to fix the economy while rewarding workers to own houses, build families, and investing so money works for them and not getting the other end of the stick if you know what I mean!

Thanks for your passion! I will be releasing the full plan soon but I just wanted to know what everyone think but I understand if you don’t see metrics then you don’t know how to respond! So I understand the wtf thinking to is this post!
