I would like to eliminate the estate tax. You earned it, you should be able to give it to Jr w/o paying tax on it (the way this is accomplished now is through various means like incorporating your assets so you are really not giving any CASH, per se, to your kid....)
BUT, that being said, I also want the guys that HAVE this money to be paying a slightly larger percentage back into the kitty than the "typical" earner, being as most of their income is arguably disposable (as opposed to people who need the money for, I don't know, FOOD and SHELTER?).
The problem most people have with the current system is not how much they are currently paying, but two other things.
1. How much others are paying.
2. How that money is being spent.
Hell, I still can't figure out why 90% of the House and Senate are even given salaries! Add to that they vote themselves a raise? Are they that hard up for cash?
