And a flat tax does not create less revenue, in fact with the elimination of bullshit loopholes, and a simpler tax code it would create more. (like no you can't write off the private plane you took to Fiji to fuck your secretary undisturbed)
Among the left sided policies I could get behind are free healthcare are opposed to the Insurance company protection act, as well as free college.
All this as well as police, military, etc could be maintained with a true balanced budget, but special interest on both sides have long ago made that impossible.
It is much better to say fuck it and blame the other side for obstructing things like we do now

So a plane journey is not tax deductible. How about a trip to the mall in the car we claim as a business expense?
A balanced budget is the key phrase. Would that be the US Government cutting half a trillion in spending by closing huge swathes of the public sector, defence spending, roads, and whatever. so they no longer exist, or the private sector taking them over? And we pay at the point of delivery? For instance road tolls on every road, fireman ask for your credit card details before putting out the fire on your house, etc? Like the US healthcare system.
And of course, defence. Close all those massive factories and shipyards, sack the workers and soldiers. Then their local economy collapses, and more are out of work. And before we know it, sales are dropping because people who were further up the food chain, aren't doing so great.
Or just raise more taxes to pay for the bloated overspending that now funds so much of the economy.
This has to be the first step. Vote for politicians who will pass laws to limit how much politicians can spend campaigning. AND include businesses and individuals. Or get the Government people like the Koch brothers decide you deserve.
