I think the answer would be to fund everything via sales tax. This way your income stimulates the economy and the govt gets a cut of the action.


People are already paying a 7-10% sales tax, you want to raise that to 35%? thats how you end up with revolution.


Why would you want a regressive tax?


That way poor/middle class people face the biggest overall tax burden and rich people that save, invest, and spend money overseas get to massively lower their tax burden. Great!
