The people of the United States are being taxed into poverty. The tax code needs to be modified to collect no more than 25% the the earnings of any individual or family. The tax form should be modified to remove the taxes from the itemized form (schedule A) and moved to the 1040 where a calculation of city, state, sales, property, school, federal and state income taxes are added up and compared to 25% of the adjusted gross income. If the tax collected is more than than the 25% then the federal tax is reduced and the reductions are passed back to the states in the form of cuts to funding of programs.
