Since the political class is so insistent on raising our taxes, I would support the following tax increase:
– 55% of the increase in a politician’s wealth between his first financial filing at the time he was elected and that at his death is taken and used to pay for retirement and health care costs of all the current and retired politicians thereby keeping their costs off the government’s balance sheet and out of operating costs.
Since the politicians see their wealth increase so much during their tenure, why shouldn’t those of us who put them there actually benefit from this?
