Inciting class warfare based on imaginary dividing lines like "98%" is fun!!

This. Yet, he calls out others as "batshit crazy" says all.

Sure there is.
How about 0% and go to a completely consumption based system that has exemptions ONLY for: 1)Basic Staple Foods, produced in the USA - bread / rice / milk / whole chickens / veggies etc... 2)Used / Thrift Store items (used clothing, used books, etc...from 2nd hand stores or charity stores) 3)****Manufacturing/Distribution process steps (ACME buys a widget from X-CORP and Sells it to JOHNSON & JOHNSON).....only tax is paid on the consumption profit...like this: xcorp bought raw materials for $5.00, pays a %consumption tax on 5.00, makes widget Acme bought the widget from xcorp for $20.00, so pays a %tax on $15.00 consumption Acme then packages them , labels them and sells them to customers for $27.50 each, and pays a %consumption tax on $7.50 If the consumption tax was 20%, it would be $1.00, $3.00, and $1.50 at the corresponding steps. No income taxes to figure out.... **** Just an example of a VAT type of system, there are other systems also. Want to spend mad loot on your business/office furniture and gear? Pay consumption tax on all of it... Want to run a home office with second hand gear or a small business with a few employees and some second hand/ used gear? Pay no consumption tax. (or perhaps a vastly lowered amount on used items...) If you are poor /working class and buy staple foods and conserve your money and buy second hand items you will pay virtually no taxes. If you want to waste money on the latest IPAD or other new trendy device, youll have to pay taxes. Rich peoiple with mansions, yachts, nice clothes, top end furniture will be paying most of the bills and getting hit with more consumption tax...unless of course they choose to live more frugally and consume less. These are just examples of how simple and powerful a consumption based system could be.
