It is time to step outside the box and review some of the issues this great nation faces. We need not necessarily look at issues from a partisan perspective, but rather as individual contributors who can solve the problems we are now facing. It is the rugged individualism and creativity of this nation that allows us to come up with new ideas, innovations and solutions. Why are we not then, exploiting this for the good of the country? From the beginning of this nation, a small group of people collaborated to put the framework of this country together. The Founding Fathers and several other contributors looked at other nations and their shortcomings. From this historical perspective, they began to meld new thoughts and ideas into our founding documents we still live under today while recognizing the strengths of previous and current governments of the time. It was this innovative spirit and freedom that created one of the most powerful nations this world has ever seen.
First, let us start with a simple idea; why not a flat tax? Think about
this; liberals and conservatives alike complain about loopholes and tax breaks and credits. Why not eliminate them all? No more favortism, no more special interests in our tax code, just a simple and straightforward tax. This should apply to individuals as well as businesses. It also holds our politicians accountable to what they spend and on what they spend our money. In addition, it makes sure that no millionaires can take advantage of the tax code and also makes sure that everyone pays something.
