The government needs money to do its job. The main job is to protect the assets of the wealthy.

Rightfully so since they are the ones who make the campaign donations and pretty much purchase the office for their in the pocket politician.

The best tax to have is an asset tax on the wealthy. Drop income/labor tax, but keep the labor social security tax, but drop it to what is needed to cover required payouts.

And the national debt is a accumulation of costs of supplying the world with its monetary unit, world wide police/military force, and Uncle Sam bail out funds. So there should be a worldwide flat tax of tribute to reimburse the USA. That can pay off the national debt.

Arnold said Straight tax and then said that income taxes are to unstable to rely on.

What exactly is a 15% straight tax, it could be a flat tax, but he said he did not want to rely on income tax.

Is it a 15% tax on good and services at the retail or wholesale level or ?? it is not clear.

Don’t know what to think until we see more details.
