WRONG
We can look at this mathematically…

is possible

OKAY
Here’s how the math
works
According to NPR.org, last year the government collected
$1.1 TRILLION dollars
This money was JUST from individuals
NOT CORPORATE
NOT PAYROLL TAX
JUST FROM INDIVIDUAL INCOME TAX
NOW
What does this mean?
Let’s take a look at the total personable income made in
the USA last year
According to UNM.edu, the TOTAL PERSONAL INCOME
last year for the USA was$12,949,905,000,000
Or to translate,$12 Trillion!
So, to recap, out of $12 Trillion
Only $1 Trillion went to the government
Or approximately
12.95%
Feels like it is a lot more out of your paycheck,
right?
But, most of us get a
government tax return
Which who doesn’t look
forward to?
ANYWAYS
TO GET BACK ON TOPIC
According to BLS.gov, there is approximately 240 MILLION employed people in the USA.
That is the Civilian Noninstitutional Population
OR YOUR AVERAGE JOE
You, and Me
This means, out of the $12 Trillion made every year by us
Out of 240 Million employed, the average person makes
about $54,000 a year
Now, I don’t make that, I make far LESS than that
BUT THAT IS THE STATISTICS
So HERE is where the
math comes together
My idea is to put in place a TEMPORARY
Debt Tax
If we put in place a 10%
TAX
Just to pay off the deficit
Which is currently over
$16 Trillion
And not use this TAX for ANY OTHER
PURPOSE
We would have the deficit PAID OFFin 13 Years
Did I read that right?
YES, you did.13 Years.
This tax would not affect the current
tax table
So, people that are struggling
(poverty line)would not pay this tax
It only would apply toTAXABLE INCOME
And here’s the math if you don’t believe me.
240 Million Employed$12 Trillion Income
10% Debt Tax =$1,294,990,500,000
collected A YEAR
Or roughly$1.3 Trillion collected for the 10% Debt Tax
What is our current deficit?
Over $16 Trillion?
$1.3 Trillion x 13 Years
$16.9 Trillion
That sounds like enough to pay off the
deficit, doesn’t it?
This would mean America would be
back in the hands ofAMERICANS
And not foreign countries
