I have changed my ideas on taxes to where I believe people should start
paying taxes after making $50,000 annually ($25 an hour). I also believe
it should be a flat tax system of 15% for all individuals, businesses,
and entities. Individuals, businesses, and entities can also have the
ability to donate more money to the government if they'd like or
contribute to a specific program or cause (this is completely optional
and there only for personal convenience). This process is as simple as
writing and mailing a check, filing electronically, or even paying the
tax amount at a post office. Modern systems should be convenient,
simple, stress-free, non-intimidating (no feeling of personal risk as if
being subjected to an audit), and fully understandable. If one doesn't
pay taxes then the 15% tax will follow the individual and carry over to
the next year. If for some reason they don't pay taxes, then they can
file a card of reasoning by mail, call over the phone, or talk to a
federal tax advisor and talk about their reason which could lead to
nullify paying future taxes until they make more than $50,000 annually
again (this will be important that they do so; however, if discovered
the individual was lying, they can be subject to tax fraud). If the
individual refuses to pay taxes and reaches up to $50,000 dollars in tax
accumulation, then a federal agency will send the individual a letter
and a series of phone calls will be made requesting them to show up at
one of their federal tax locations. There they will interview the person
and find out why they didn't file taxes and try and provide with a way
to consolidate paying these taxes. If three to six months goes by and
they still refuse payment, then they will be charged with tax evasion.
If they never answer the call after letting taxes accumulate to $50,000
after one to three months, then they can be charged with tax evasion and
at that point an officer will go to their home and politely ask them
that he or she is to be escorted to the police station where there will
be a process of trial and prosecution. Not paying taxes is a simple
matter of extreme negligence and does not harm the average law abiding
citizen. I would also assume after making $50,000 annually an individual
has tremendous financial flexibility to cover 15% in taxes. In times of
financial instability such as war, I think it may be a good idea that
taxes can jump to higher levels than 15% to perhaps about 30% or 45%
max and also lower from the annual threshold from $50,000 a year to
$30,000 a year min. However, it should only be made in strict, extreme,
and desperate circumstances that the annual threshold and tax percent
can be raised and lowered. It should also be declared that under strict
and extreme circumstances, the annual threshold should not go lower than
$30,000 and the tax percentage should never raise higher than 45%. It
should also be in hopes that the annual threshold should never have to
change from its $50,000 standard threshold. To initialize such tax
changes during such dire circumstances, changes will be appointed by the
beginning of a conflict (meaning war) date to the end of the conflict
date, and will stop immediately under the scrutiny of political
corruption. The tax system will resume after corruptions are sought out
completely. This would be my own and what I believe is a more reasonable
and functional tax plan.
