U.S. Constitution for 21st Century

Under the new Constitution, FAIR TAX LAWS will be instituted to finance necessary protections, services, and progress for the nation while concurrently balancing the Federal Budget and accruing a SURPLUS to finance the future.

Modified FLAT TAX LAW

TAX LAWS to Accelerate ECONOMIC PROGRESS

Under the U.S. Constitution for 21^st Century and Beyond, a new, fair, equitable tax system will be instituted to finance necessary services, protections, andprogress for the nation--without unduly burdening taxpayers.

The merits and values of the new tax system include:

Institution of a new, equitably-distributed tax-and-revenue system to adequately fund reasonable, necessary budgets of expenditures for the Federal Government
Fair allocation of tax burdens upon citizens, business, and other economic entities
LOWER TAXES for individual citizens--now OVERTAXED UNFAIRLY
Balanced Federal budgets
Abolition of the NATIONAL DEBT
National Reserve Fund to finance necessary improvements in national infrastructure--highways, waterways; airways, mass transit; and other transportation systems; safety net for less advantaged citizens; and other programs to serve citizens and the nation
Improved law, order, safety and security for citizens
Improved opportunities for employment, housing, education, health and medical care, and other services for citizens
Greater income of individual citizens for investment to improve quality of life
More effective protection of the national environment
Coping with national emergencies
Attainment of other national goals
Visionary planning for a better future

The NEW CONSTITUTION will NOT:

Onerously and inequitably burden individual citizens--while literally allowing a free ride for corporations, banking, and wealthy taxpayers
Handicap economic progress
Perpetuate fiscal mismanagement by unqualified, irresponsible politicians in Government
Irresponsibly cause deficit spending resulting in a skyrocketing national debt

Background….
In the 1860's, President Abraham Lincoln stated his philosophy on the role of Government:"The legitimate object of government is to do for a community of people whatever they need to have done, but cannot do at all, or cannot do so well, for themselves in their separate and individual capacities. But in all that people can individually do as well for themselves, government ought not to interfere."

Abraham Lincoln's philosophy remains sound and valid for management and operation of Government for the 21^st century.

To finance expenditures of Government, the Congress enacted an income tax law in 1913 to finance programs warranting support by the Federal Government.

For decades, however, Federal income tax has FAILED TO PROVIDE NECESSARY FUNDING for national expenditures.

The cause: corruption and betrayal, as well as fiscal incompetence, by unqualified, irresponsible, sell-out Presidents and Members of Congress. With multi-billion dollar bribery funneled through a criminalistic chain of sell-outs, payoffs, and kickbacks via dollar contributions by BIG MONEY to political campaigns, Presidents and Members of Congress have subverted U.S. tax laws into an anti-citizen, anti-economic, and unconstitutional jeopardy and danger for citizens and the nation.

Under the original Constitution, Article I, Section 8 reads:
"The Congress shall have power To lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts, and excises…"(and these shall) "…be uniform throughout the United States...."

Of the annual Gross National Income of about $28 trillion, CORPORATIONS and other businesses--accruing $16-18 trillion gross annual income--pay about 0-2% of gross annual income in taxes, with MORE THAN ONE-HALF OF CORPORATIONS PAYING NO TAXES!

For comparison, non-business citizens--earning about one-fourth of Gross National Income--often pay more than 35% on taxable income.

To illustrate inequities of corrupt, anti-citizen TAX LAWS and unfair treatment of non-business citizens--as compared to special treatment for corporations and other businesses--comparative deductions, exemptions, and write-offs include:

HOUSING COSTS:

Corporate PIG RAISER to expand housing for MORE PIGS: Deductible
FAMILY to expand home for a NEW BABY: NOT deductible

MAINTENANCE & REPAIR:

SALOON OPERATOR replacement of defective BEER PUMP that fosters alcoholism, mate-battering, drunk driving, and other crimes: Deductible
FAMILY replacement of defective STOVE to feed family: NOT deductible

TRANSPORTATION COSTS:

Fertilizer plant operator repair of a truck for transporting chemicals often dangerous to the environment and human life: Deductible
Family breadwinner repair of a car to go to work to support family: NOT deductible

ADVERTISING Vs. FOOD:

Multi-million dollar expenditures for distortive, edge-of-idiocy advertising commercials often designed to sell non-essential--perhaps dangerous--products such as alcohol, tobacco, and pornography: Deductible
Necessary costs of food and nutrition to sustain life for family: NOT deductible

ENTERTAINMENT Vs HUMAN HEALTH:

Multi-million dollar expenditures for champagne and caviar parties and entertainment by Corporations, Hollywood studios, owners of sports teams, and other promotion purposes: Deductible
Family expenditures for HOME CARE for AGING PARENTS: NOT deductible

LIFE and DEATH COSTS:

Production, processing, distribution and advertising for people-killing tobacco: Deductible
Health care required for victims of CANCER caused by tobacco products: NOT deductible (unless costs exceed a substantial percentage of income). Moreover, victims of cancer caused by tobacco products are required to pay higher taxes to subsidize the tobacco-producing industry that kills them.

PRESIDENTS and MEMBERS of CONGRESS--through allowing massive tax deductions, and write-offs for tobacco and other industries:

Treat non-business citizens less equal than BOOZE, TOXIC WASTE, PORNOGRAPHY, and other detrimental PRODUCTS that harm and KILL PEOPLE!
Subsidize killing of more than 400,000 Americans annually from tobacco-related causes, as well as contribute to more than 2,000 deaths a day around the world.

PRESIDENTS and CONGRESS approve and perpetuate UNFAIR TAX LAWS that treat NON-BUSINESS citizens and their families LESS EQUAL than PIGS, BOOZE, FERTILIZER, and TOXIC WASTE.

Presidents and Congress--by approval of tax deductions and write-offs for the TOBACCO INDUSTRY--SUBSIDIZE KILLING 400,000 AMERICANS a year and EXPORT DEATH to MILLIONS of PEOPLE around the world.
