Simple solutions made difficult

 There are two things that I don’t normally discuss and they are religion and politics. Often times they are considered taboo simply because they tend to cause controversy and heated debates/arguments. Well I am going against my norm and discuss politics or better yet our goverment in general.

 As we all are aware, election time has yet rolled around again and it is also tax season both of which brings me to my first item of discussion. It has been tossed around for years and debated on but it has never really been brought out for the public to vote on and that is the proposal of The Fair Tax.

 The Fair Tax is a good and sound idea and it would be very beneficial to our country as a whole if it had a few tweeks made to it. If certain aspects of the fair tax and aspects of the flact tax, both taxes are completely different mind you, but if they were combined we could have a Fair Flat Tax, a tax that EVERYBODY pays equally on goods and services. It would basically be a national sales tax and it would do away with income taxes giving citizens more cash in their pockets each payday.

 This new tax would be applied to all goods and services and every individual would pay it as well as companies but here is the real kicker….illegals that live and work here would also have to pay. Imagine all those illegals that have been working here being paid in cash with no taxes taken from them would finally be having to give back part of that which they receive and wouldn’t that be a real kick in the ass and change to them??? LOL.

  Tourist from other countries would even pay as well as foreign companies doing business here. A simple solution that could do so much for every individual place of business. More money in a persons paycheck means more money in their pocket. More money in a persons pocket means more that person has to spend. The more a person spends the more revenue a store or other business receives which last but not least leads to more tax dollars to the goverment. The tax would be paid to the feds monthly or  quarterly just like state and local sales taxes.

 One more thing that I would like to touch base on and that is a federally funded national healthcare system and not a system like that of Obamas. We as Americans could receive healthcare funded/paid by our goverment ensuing that all citizens have access to healthcare without fear of not being able to afford it. A system much like that of Canadas but tweeking it, naturally, and looking at other countries with the same type of system in place and devise our own unique system based along the same lines of others.

 Of course this system, plan, or policy would likely piss off doctors because they would more or less be paid a flat rate instead of charging what ever they want therefore weeding out what they might consider less desirable because of social class for example. Most people go to a doctor that they can afford more than one that might charge more simply because they might be in a better location but have the same skill set. For instance, you have a doctor who charges $75 just for an office visit and another that charges $125 but the latter is 5 miles closer or is in a better area. Who do you choose??? Doctors, hospitals, and other facilities would still be able basically charge what they wanted for services provided to illegals, non US citizens, and foreign tourist/visitors.

 No one should have to go without healthcare simply because they can’t afford it. The whole thing could be paid for and funded by a national sales tax like the one I discussed earlier and if you stop to think about it everyone would still be paying for their own care in a sence simply because of the sales tax.

 I am no economist and I am certainly no political guru but I firmly believe, as well as others do that think the same thing, that these ideas/proposals are sound and very do able if acted upon by our elected officials. Their is a down side tho and that is our goverment has the uncanny ability to take something so simple and turn it into the impossible. Go figure lol.
