If tax increases are bad in a slow economy, then why are they good in a good economy???

Here is a tax plan:

National Sales Tax - No Income tax

Increase tariffs

"Everyone" pays

If the spend happy Congress wants to fund a "project" they better make sure the economy is growing. If the economy is down cancel your project or reduce the funding.

No tax increase without the approval of the voters.

No Congressional pay increase without the approval of the voters.

No increase in benefits without the approval of the voters.
