Institute a flat tax percentage for all individuals regardless of income level.
Department of Veterans Affairs
Raise Taxes on Companies like NIKE that Outsource Work. Then offer tax advantages for companies that keep work in U.S. This could end our budget crisis with revenue it would bring in. We bring jobs to with companies that come back to U.S. with there jobs.
Seriously, GE,Fed Ex, Verizon...they all get PAID by us [taxpayers] in the form of Tax incentives-supposidly for job creation etc. But who are we fooling? Do they create any more jobs after the first few years? It's pure profit to the company. Take away the tax breaks or at LEAST restore the laws to close the loop-holes so obviously being corrupted.
Executive Office of the President
Office of Personnel Management
Create a flat tax for everyone with no loop holes, exemptions, or tax breaks.
Reduce the size of the IRS by at least one half of current staffing, associated offices, and vehicles.
This would create a vast resource of monies for government and remove the associated bureaucracies that weigh this great nation down. It would be a very positive step in getting our nation out of the massive debt crisis.
I don't understand why I am mailing in documents that the IRS has already received from my banks, jobs, and etc. Why not allow individuals and companies to login to their account and see what documents the IRS has already received? Then permit them to upload the documents that are needed. Why mail in a document the IRS already has?
Many years ago President Reagan said he wanted to simplify taxes to the point where an individual would receive a postcard with what the Government said they owed in taxes. If the taxpayer agreed, they could pay the assessed amount; if not, they could file and explain why it should be different. Reduction in tax code(s) should please everyone (except H&R Block and others who prepare tax returns)

POLITICAL CAMPAIGN FUNDS SHOULD BE TAXED LIKE ANY OTHER BUSINESS SO THAT POLITICIAN WOULD UNDERSTAND WHAT RUNNING A BUSINESS IS LIKE. WHAT A BURDEN PAYING TAXES IS ON A BUSINESS. HOW THE FIRST 25 OR 30% OF THE FUNDS RAISED IS NOT FOR THEIR USE BUT GOES TO THE GOVERNMENT. A TAX ON CAMPAIGN FUNDS WOULD BE A GREAT EDUCATIONAL TOOL FOR EVERY POLITICIAN AND POLITICAL WANT-A-BE.
Eliminate the mortgage interest tax break since it only serves to raise housing prices which benefits banks, realtors, etc.,
Plus why should the federal government help you buy a house?
