Tax+Reform

Tax Reform Taxes are a very important part of today’s society, and the Ecocrats would make a much better tax system for both the government and for the citizens. Taxes will be increased for the wealthy by around 5%, given that they can afford to pay taxes much more than middle and lower class citizens. This would satisfy many of today's blue collar families. This would also comply with Occupy Wall Street's demands. Taxes are widening the gap between upper and middle class citizens. Income tax will be the highest tax in general, because the loss of money will be felt less on the income generated. Sales tax will be the lowest tax, because buying essentials is very important. Property tax will remain the same, because it is generally the most fair tax. More revenue from taxes will be used for schooling than it is currently. School should be uniform across the country, with generally the same curriculum nationwide. Tests will periodically be given to students to test whether the school is on track or not. This will make switching schools easier mid year. Also, funds will be allocated to healthcare. Healthcare is a large issue, and it is not addressed well enough in america today. Healthcare is very important in today's society. Some form of healthcare must be given to every citizen. This is a very pressing issue, and must be addressed. Some people who have debilitating diseases like multiple sclerosis may not be in a financial spot to get healthcare, and if disaster strikes, they must go through their life savings to stay alive. This is not a thing that any government should do to its people. The Ecocrats will revolutionize the healthcare system in America, providing for each and every American.
