Alternative Tax System???
What is your opinion, if any, on the Automated Payment Transaction Tax… It was envisioned to replace all federal taxes and possibly (please) fund UBI and Medicare for All in a revenue neutral system that could be as low as 2% split on either side of the transaction…. It would have to be gradually introduced to avoid shocks to the systems, but that approach could also work with the UBI rollout… This way we could replace the Social Security card with a American Benefits card and it could work as your national ID as well as your Medicare card… No more filing out taxes for individuals and no more need to pad the business expenses to reduce tax burdens, also no way to escape it by hiring a fixer. It was proposed by a Republican economist back in 2005 I think 🤔, but I only stumbled upon it recently… Just feel like it needs to be looked at again to see if it is a possible alternative that we could use to fix the mess that our system has become…
Following the Saagar's Money.
Question for Saagar, Your show The Realignment is sponsored by a group known as the Lincoln Network, an open recipient of Koch money and your show specifically receives money from the Hewletts (billionaire tech oligarchs.). Please explain how you justify this; this seems hypocritical given your criticism of corporate influence on media. Thanks.
