“Do you want to improve the world?
I don’t think it can be done.
The world is sacred.
It can’t be improved.
If you tamper with it, you’ll ruin it.
If you treat it like an object, you’ll lose it.
The Master sees things as they are,
without trying to control them.
She lets them go their own way,
and resides at the center of the circle.” —

Ok, 3% is a made up number for a supposed federal sales tax (admittedly not an economist). The truth is with no agreement on a debt reduction plan, we are getting no where fast. Both sides need to give up the party line a little and start playing pragmatic politics.
What if...
Why doesn’t the US government created a 3% sales tax across the country on non-essentials in addition to state tax? Every country in Europe has taxes like these and people are still buying.The government would make so much money.
At least, let’s think of solutions to the debt issue rather than bi-partisanship stonewalling that leads to raising the debt ceiling with no debt reduction plan.
And there you have it, my frustration this week with being American is released.
