Agree but what would be better is to abolish the income tax. Our founders wisely forbade direct taxes in their fear of a too powerful central gov. It figures a progressive would do an end around and push this travesty on a nation on a war footing. Way too much money collected to support way too much redundant and inefficient bureaucracy.

Economics not my forte. Suggest reading the Federalist Papers. My take from my read was the founders had pretty well restricted income to this newly formed fed mainly restricting it to collecting tariffs. So in keeping with this obvious intent of the Founders, income to the fed should be limited as much as possible with the states taking on more of the task of governance that the fed has improperly acquired.

How would an alternative tax work and wouldn’t it be then easier for government to spend as it wants?
