The Problem: A Complex, Costly Tax System
The current federal tax code runs tens of thousands of pages. It requires individuals and businesses to spend billions of hours and dollars on compliance. The IRS employs tens of thousands of workers to enforce it. And despite all of this complexity, fraud and misconduct persist.
Individual Income Tax → Eliminated
- All individual income taxes eliminated — replaced by the 10% National Sales Tax on consumer purchases
- No more filing individual income taxes
- Easier for employers to pay individuals (not having to calculate income tax)
- IRS not needed for tax compliance — massive administrative savings
- Exempt all Groceries (Food & Beverages) to protect families
Payroll Taxes → Eliminated
- Social Security to be considered part of debt and paid with dedicated allocations from the 10% National Sales Tax
- Federal Government to refund all prior contributions into a General Retirement Account
- Priority given to those already in or near retirement
Excise Taxes → Eliminated
Eliminate all excise taxes. The states are closer to assess the needs of their state as it relates to Gas, Alcohol, Tobacco, and Airports.
Corporate Taxes → Eliminated
The corporate income tax is eliminated entirely. Corporations pay the 10% National Sales Tax on their consumer purchases like everyone else — no separate corporate tax, no complex deductions, no loopholes.
Revenue Calculation
Key Advantages
- Tax collected at point of sale — no individual filing required
- Does not give favorability to one industry or business over another
- The 10% rate creates a hard ceiling to government spending — no program survives without revenue
- Near-impossible to evade at scale — every retail transaction is tracked electronically
One tax. One rate. No loopholes. The entire current tax code is eliminated and replaced with the simplest possible system — a single 10% National Sales Tax. This takes out, for the most part, the ability for fraud and misconduct.
