Tax proposal

Created by P.S. on December 21, 2012

1. National 1 % sales tax on everything except groceries for 10 years non-renewable, to be used only to pay off debt and create a surplus (return 10% of what is collected to the state to reduce state debt and increase education spending)
2. Raise minimum income tax on singles over $250,000, couples $500,000 to 30 % after all deductions
3. Raise Social security tax ceiling to $500,000
4. Keep other tax rates as they are, and use this money to run the government
5. If there is no budget in place, congress and the President do not get paid until one is, and then they only get 50% of what they would have gotten in back pay
6. Cut spending by 10% across the board
I realize that everyone will end up paying a little more, but we are a country, and we need to be responsible for our debts.
