A FLAT TAX
or a National Sales Tax will not work - They actually put a tariff on products and labor. Our TAPS 3-6 PLAN IS
BEST as a small transaction fee.
Herman
Cain's 9-9-9 tax or any National Sales Tax plan will not work. The Free Enterpise system has taken too many hits.
Our economy is wounded. There is a better way.........
First of all, only value added local economies work
right. They have several layers of added value from raw product up to the retail or end user level. All money
spent at the retail level quickly go to where the products are made and the investments reside. The money quickly goes
out of our country. It does not stay in the U.S. to recyle our economy over and over again. It is wrong to overload
the last levels with sales or other taxes and any tax be it a flat tax or national sales tax will not work. The
primary problem with taxes is the percentage rate itself. The higher the percentage the more manipulations take place with
everyone trying to find a way to beat the system. A Tap of 3 percent on all transactions at any level does not affect the
flow enough for people to manipulate the system. All transactions of money should be subject to the Tap unless there
is a very good reason they should not. With imports, the Tap should be 6 percent since so many levels of transactions
are missing in an economy that is not local. This would fill in the voids, free trade brings.
If we add up all the transactions
that go on every day, I am sure an automatic 3 percent Tap would bring in sufficient amounts to provide for government services
and the entitlements. We would not need a separate payroll tax or income tax. States can participate in the plan and
could cut out the local sales taxes in time. Taxes should not upsets economic pursuits. For example the payroll
tax is a negative tax when companies and workers have to compete in a global economic arena. The payroll tax is now a
flat tax on the working poor and one that companies can not afford to pay if they are to compete in a global economy.
The Tap would stream through all parts of the economy at a very low rate and not affect the flow of the economy as taxes
do now.
Real Tax Reform "Taps" instead of taxes: All U.S. Tax codes
are obsolete. It is like an old inner tube with too many patches. We need a new common sense approach while the
people decide from the bottom to the top what to do in the pusuit of the life ideal and the best in human nature.
Federalism and Centralization has failed. They led us into the Free Trade Trap. Taxes now act as a tariff our labor
and workers. We need to find a way to balance out the economy by spreading a tax system many ways without affecting the
flow of our economy .

Our economy based on making money on money instead of making things
has burned out. No amount of funny money and global monopoly games will work. Instead of continuing the charade,
we now need to prepare for the post-globalization era. Free trade has a history of more than a twenty years
of failures. The U.S.has gone through the most massive dislocation of workers in its history. It is time to relocalize
our economies with bottom up solutions. Taps instead of taxes is a beginning. It buys us time until the people decide
what is best for society - not Centralized Federalism. ( Copy Taps instead of Taxes on your blogs and sites. )
We need to revise the way taxes are collected
since so many value added levels or our economy are outside the USA. In many cases, tariffs have been taken off products and
converted to hidden tariffs on workers and the workday. The Trade Deficit now totals in the Trillions of dollars. Reportedly,
every family in the USA could have been given a $50,000 home with the money lost by the Trade Deficit.
Free Trade and Globalization has chopped up our economy into pieces destroying the balances of the local value added economy
we once enjoyed.
Now the money spent at retail quickly fans out to the places where the products are
made in places like China. The money does not stay here to regenerate our economy up and down the levels from raw product
to retail.
Worst yet, the Payroll Tax is used in the General Fund as any other tax but is not part
of any tax reform. About 70% of all workers pay more in Payroll Taxes than they do in Income Taxes. Tax breaks are isolated
this way to only a few while the working poor and small businesses pay up to what in essence is a flat tax on work and business
at up to over 15%.
We are now voting at the check out counter more than we do in the voting booth
on what kind of society we want. The Government will find it difficult to support the entitlements as more production and
jobs move out of the USA. When we shop at places like Wal-Mart, a major part of the revenues goes out of the country to where
the products are made. We shop our way out of our jobs.
We need to find a way now to shore up a dwindling
tax base. The working middle class that once supported a strong tax base is dwindling. The Federal, State and Local Governments
are now the largest employers in many major cities. Next comes the Medical and Education workers who also depend on taxes
for their pay. These sectors are growing while the tax producting jobs are evaporating.
We need to
find a way to back up all this. The worst thing about taxes is the percentage. Business and people manipulate their incomes
to escape the higher tax rates. We need to come up with a diverse way to collect taxes at rates where the balances in the
economy are not upset.
Tapsearch.Com and Tapart News suggests keeping a tax rate at a maximum of 3%
per unit. We call these units a "Tap".
Then we would Tap all transactions without affecting any level
in the economy radically. We could also do away with the IRS since the Taps would be automatically processed with every transaction
be it a retail, workers wages, services, and up and down the line in all levels of the economy as voted to be included as
an item to be Tapped. All imported products and services from other countries would carry an extra Tap of 3 percent for
a total of 6 percent since they replaced a level that was producing revenues inside the USA. We could combine all Taps
to produce a adequate revenues to replace all other taxes including the Payroll Tax. Local taxes would have to be taken out
of the picture by a revenue sharing plan for local budgets. There would be no need for paper work or auditing
since the Taps are automatically applied each and every time without exception. You could have a double Tap totaling 6% for
corporate profits if voters want it this way. However this would still be a very low tax to encourage companies to operate
and employ workers in the USA instead moving to other countries.
Free Trade has made workers the real commodities
and not products per se. This needs to stop. Workers should not be put on a global trading block to compete down to the lowest
common denominators of destitute, wage slave and even child labor. Taps would highlight all the levels in a value added economy
and prove how each level is needed for a successful economy.
Please pass on the ideas of Taps to all you know
and your political leaders. The larger a tax rate gets, the more manipulation happens and the balance of a local value added
economy is upset.
The plan should be put to a popular vote for workers who have been affected by free trade the
most be given a voice in the matter.
All free trade agreements should be ratified by a popular vote for the same
reason. This is how our democratic process should work. Obviously, voters will not vote their way out of their jobs.
Free trade now is under the control of brokers and dealers in government. This is not the way our democracy should
work.
