1. Increase the income taxes rate by 1% on all Americans earning above $35,000.00
2. Raise the Social Security maximum earnings that could be subject to the OASDI portion of FICA payroll tax to 120,000.00.
3. Raise capital gains tax rate to 20%
10% across the board cuts of government spending would unbalance the fragile state of the economy. Republicans and Democrats both agree the current tax system is broken. Why not fix it. These simple changes along with a 1% decrease in spending across the board would not only avoid the "fiscal cliff" but would set us up for economic recovery. Decrease the deficit and provide a stable and secure financial future for our children.
