See Rubio defends tax plan against conservative critics who call it 'redistribution'
"Our argument is that this is not redistribution because this money doesnāt belong to the government in the first place," Rubio said at an event at the Heritage Foundation.ā
Well. Rubio, if you realty believe that then why are you not proposing to end all federal taxes calculated from a wage earnerās paycheck and allow them to keep the bread they have earned from the sweat of their labor?
What your tax reform plan does Mr. Rubio is make an attempt to buy votes just like the Democrats do instead of getting to the actual cause of so much of our Nationās sufferings which is inflicted upon business owners and working people through an immoral and arbitrary system of taxation which lays and collects a direct tax upon profits, gains, salaries, tips, wages and other lawfully earned incomes.
Instead of promoting real tax reform by proposing to withdraw Congressā power to lay and collect taxes calculated from āincomesā, your choice is to keep this evil system of taxation alive and in the hands of our federal government which has used it to redistribute wealth, attack private citizens for their political beliefs, has been used to fatten the fortunes of the Washington Establishment, and has even been used to make the private lives of the American People an open book.
Your tax reform plan is no reform at all. It is another Washington Establishment klabuki dance to insure this evil form of direct taxation is kept alive and in the hands of our corrupted federal government. If you were truly sincere about tax reform beneficial to the American People, and wanted to re-ignite American economic engine, you would work to send the Fair Share Balanced Budget Amendment to the States for ratification, which is fact is real tax reform ___ our Founderās way!
The Fair Share Balanced Budget Amendment
āSECTION 1. The Sixteenth Amendment is hereby repealed and Congress is henceforth forbidden to lay ``any`` tax or burden calculated from profits, gains, interest, salaries, wages, tips, inheritances or any other lawfully realized money.
NOTE: these words would return us to our founding fatherās ORIGINAL TAX PLAN as they intended it to operate! They would also end the experiment with allowing Congress to lay and collect taxes calculated from lawfully earned "incomes" which now oppresses Americaās economic engine and robs the bread which working people have earned when selling their labor!
"SECTION 2. Congress ought not raise money by borrowing, but when the money arising from imposts duties and excise taxes are insufficient to meet the public exigencies, and Congress has raised money by borrowing during the course of a fiscal year, Congress shall then lay a direct tax at the beginning of the next fiscal year for an amount sufficient to extinguish the preceding fiscal year's deficit, and apply the revenue so raised to extinguishing said deficit."
NOTE: Congress is to raise its primary revenue from imposts and duties, [taxes at our waterās edge], and may also lay miscellaneous internal excise taxes on specifically chosen articles of consumption. But if Congress borrows and spends more than is brought in from imposts, duties and miscellaneous excise taxes during the course of a fiscal year, then, and only then, is the apportioned tax to be laid.
"SECTION 3. When Congress is required to lay a direct tax in accordance with Section 1 of this Article, the Secretary of the United States Treasury shall, in a timely manner, calculate each State's apportioned share of the total sum being raised by dividing its total population size by the total population of the united states and multiplying that figure by the total being raised by Congress, and then provide the various State Congressional Delegations with a Bill notifying their Stateās Executive and Legislature of its share of the total tax being collected and a final date by which said tax shall be paid into the United States Treasury."
NOTE: our founderās fair share formula to extinguish an annual deficit would be:
Statesā population
---------------------------- X SUM TO BE RAISED = STATEāS FAIR SHARE
Total U.S. Population
The above formula, as intended by our founding fathers, is to insure that those states who contribute the lionās share of the tax are guaranteed a representation in Congress proportionately equal to their contribution, i.e., representation with proportional financial obligation!
Note also that each Stateās number or Representatives, under our Constitution is determined by the rule of apportionment:
State`s Pop.
------------------- X House size (435) = State`s No. of Representatives
U.S. Pop.
"SECTION 4. Each State shall be free to assume and pay its quota of the direct tax into the United States Treasury by a final date set by Congress, but if any State shall refuse or neglect to pay its quota, then Congress shall send forth its officers to assess and levy such State's proportion against the real property within the State with interest thereon at the rate of ((?)) per cent per annum, and against the individual owners of the taxable property. Provision shall be made for a 15% discount for those States paying their share by ((?))of the fiscal year in which the tax is laid, and a 10% discount for States paying by the final date set by Congress, such discount being to defray the States' cost of collection."
NOTE: This section respects the Tenth Amendment and allows each state to raise its share in its own chosen way in a time period set by Congress, but also allows the federal government to enter a state and collect the tax if a state is delinquent in meeting its obligation.
"SECTION 5. This Amendment to the Constitution, when ratified by the required number of States, shall take effect no later than (?) years after the required number of States have ratified it.

āā¦..with all these blessings, what more is necessary to make us a happy and a prosperous people? Still one thing more, fellow-citizensāa wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicitiesā. Thomas Jefferson, First Inaugural Address
