needs based social security with high thresholds, say the magic $250k
everyone pays the ssi tax on all earned income
tax all income as earned
nudge up the medicaid tax a few points to pay for healthcare basic
a tax holiday to repatriate funds so future revenues on those funds can be taxed
3% federal sales tax to capture funds from the black market and the non working poor
that way everyone pays taxes, therefore everyone will look at a budget with a hairy eyeball and the "whats in it for me" crowd gets a little smaller
