Forum Post: how i'd do it

It is funny how most people envision the political spectrum as a line going from a left wing, ultra bleeding heart socialist to a radical, right wing, nut job. But after a few months of being open minded to both sides of the debate, I believe a better analogy for discerning political power is to see it as a ring. The zenith of the ring is the dividing line that separates red from blue. In a functional democracy the ring would be half and half, with the split on the top. As seeds of discontent fester, the split, like a magnet looking for north as the person spins in a circle, chases around until it reaches the nadir, being ether socialist or fascist, which are two perspectives of one totalitarian regime. I have always discerned the two radical factions by whose boot is on whose neck. Fascists want the business community righting laws no matter who is hurt, while socialists want laws written to consolidate their power in government. Both radicalizations leave the average man at the whim of welfare or market forces, both make it hard to cope. As the old nursery rhyme goes: ring around the rosés; pocket full of (talking points); ashes; ashes, we all fall down.” In my opinion, the only way to get the split back to the top and silence the radicals is to compromise as citizens and stop allowing radicals to dictate our future, while being true to oneself and the process. Even the radicals have America’s best interests at heart; they just see it from one perspective.

I believe the best way to have a fair economy is to divide the tax code into five brackets. Those that make the least pay five percent tax, the second bracket pays ten percent, the third pays 15 percent, the fourth pays twenty, and the final bracket pays 25 percent. The bottom bracket’s minimum wage would be governed by the political process, while all the other brackets’ wages would be at the discretion of the employers. This would incentivize people to learn and expand their horizon while creating revenue for the nation. To insure we don’t become an aristocracy, the top bracket should be taxed at 95 percent and it should go down five percent per bracket. This way would incentivize parents to raise their children properly, while enticing them to spend more feverously while they live. Now the numbers I chose are negotiable, but I believe the balanced concept is the most fair. And this tax would be put on assets not employment. Every year a person, or house hold would have to pay their fair share. If our congress members did something like this, I believe the fed would no longer be forced to devalue our money, while governing the actions of the affluent. Now some of this idea I picked up by different posts here, and in other sites, but in my mind I believe it is the fairest.
