emergency stimulus for all( my idea of one) |
|
One year tax free
let every American pick one year of their adult life(between the ages of 25-50) to go completely income tax free. State and Federal 100% returned to the taxpayer but it would have to be the same year.
A huge swath would choose next year. some others would undoubtedly hold out till the year they sold a home or business.
why not?
if everybody chose this year it would be problematic, but otherwise it would help a huge portion with savings and debt and home purchases.

1. A direct stimulus towards reducing consumer debt would go farther |

The poor dont pay much in taxes, but they certainly have credit.

4. It is an interesting idea ... but this is not the time ... |
|
Right now ... the GOP would ALL decline so they could drive the deficit higher ... and then blame Obama.
It is a neat idea for a time when we are NOT in an economic mess.
