About our current system of government?

I have lots of ideas, but I will go with taxes.

The current system greatly favors the rich.
Why should anybody get a second house write-off for a boat, motor-home, or another house, when many can not even get into their first and only house?

Why all the pages and pages of tax code?
Must be to confuse, and thwart, any real attempt at stopping their loopholes, etc.

I would implement a flat consumption tax.
I would take all the current tax folk displaced by the change and put them in a "collection booth" at all stores, restaurants, bars, etc....
to gather the taxes.
The federal level would get their cut, state and local, too.
If a state charges too much, or a county, go elsewhere!

Even tourist and illegal aliens would now contribute, as they should.

No write offs of any kind, period.

Those who still lack the capacity to consume, a federal/state run facility would supply their needs, IF......
they prove worthy and in real need, and those of able body must do work of some nature like they did in the great depression, I think it was the CCC camps  link: http://www.history.com/topics/civilian-conservation-corps

I believe it would give more people a "fair shake" and restore our middle class.

Agree, disagree, or list your own ideas  

I would change the rounding down on fees.
all excess fees go to me.

Can you give me an idea of what would work better, or?

I am thinking the rich buy higher ticketed items, therefor they would pay more.
And too, if we catch all the tax from consuming, it would seem to me to catch those who skate by with shady write-offs, etc, that go undetected from audits.
I know many who are not rich, but use the system to avoid paying their share, example, they collectively gross around 50 thousand, and still get back thousands each year, and they claim deductions that they never had.
These folks are not really good targets for the IRS as it takes more resources to catch these small fries than what they get back....
Now how many cheaters fall into that category?
These are folks who blow (consume) their hole paychecks on crap, toys, vacations, etc, never thinking about tomorrow.....
So, I think in shear numbers it would capture a lot of tax revenue that presently escapes the system.

Bot, once we have exceptions, tax codes to assist/exempt anybody, then we have created a loophole.

I would rather have a different stand alone program that would answer that issue itself.

I think folks are willing to help those who really need it, its the deadbeats...... and I don't know how many that really is, that spoils it for all.

Give me some ideas  

Geez......rich, rich rich.....  let it go already. The "rich" paying their fair share (whatever that means) accomplishes nothing. Go bet rich yourself or shut the hell up about it.

You want to change something? Get rid of automatic tax deductions from paychecks. Let people get their full paycheck in their hands and then write checks to the federal government, the state, the city for their tax bill. $hit would change pretty quick. We'd pay for roads, military etc.. but some of the crap we waste money on would go away.

Enact strictly enforced Ethics Laws that would apply to both Government and private industry.  Penalties would be harsh, Government corruption would be treated as Treason, and white collar crime the same as violent crime.  
A couple of corrupt politicians and lobbyist executed for treason....  Burnie Madoff and a few Wall Street suits on death row ... I think you would find the economy, and life in general would improve quickly......
   I'm not certain how we could punish "Stupidity" though....

Spend some time. Reconsider what Everybody Knows. How much time did the government owned and operated school spend teaching us how money is created.

Check it out. We've been enslaved and convinced that it's the best way for America to go.

We must address the Source of what we have been Taught is money. The Federal Reserve is NOT Federal, at all. We, as a nation, BORROW every dollar into existence, with interest owed on it. We don't Have money, we have currency.
Why would Henry Ford have said that If the American people understood how the monetary system worked, there would be a Rebellion by morning,,,? Was he an idiot?
All the clues I've posted, spend time, go look.
Understand that the whole thing is a racket.
