You have been brainwashed into thinking taxes from individuals are required…they are not. When the US returns to the innovation and manufacturing center of the world, a small export tariff, paying by the receiving countries, would easily pay for the entire cost of govt. Of course govt would have to stop foreign aid(foreign entitlement programs), welfare, section 8, food stamps, etc(domestic entitlement programs), get out of education and do what govt is supposed to do….represent the CITIZENS.
Take your forgotten knowledge and go make your spreadsheet. Be gone…
