a simple proposal: 1. ban all tax withholding. taxpayers cut a check to the government once a quarter and true up on april 15th. 2. election day is april 16th.
@boriquagato At a minimum employer side of SS and Medicare should be on every pay stub.
@boriquagato Those of us who are self-employed do this already. Gives some perspective, I can tell you.
@boriquagato Brilliant. Every quarter, taxpayers should see exactly how much they're paying. And they should vote based on how skillfully politicians pocket, I mean allocate, their capital
@boriquagato I'll introduce this bill on January 3, 2025.
@boriquagato Counter proposal: 1. Ban all taxes 2. Ban government
@boriquagato Another proposal: Eliminate and replace the existing system with a national sales tax. EVERYONE pays. I realize it’ll never happen due to the enormous amount of power it would usurp from politicians.
@boriquagato Proposing withholding for tax collection was Milton Friedman's biggest mistake. 😠
@boriquagato I like it! I'm not fundamentally against taxation, but that would make it impossible to ignore what government is costing and make it more accountable. It's also a good reason for using cash for transactions instead of waving a card at a machine.
