Collect taxes owed! Stop the US slide toward economies like Greece and Italy where the rich pay little and the economy sinks. Tax wealth as well as income -- fairly so those with less than a $1 million are not affected.
Why is this important?
Alter federal taxes in two ways. First tax all income above $1 million at a flat rate, say 25% with graduated lower rates til then. Second, tax non-retirement protected wealth--financial holdings, real estate, etc. at say 1% a year, or perhaps less. Use the money to reduce the debt and to help local and State governments pay for the services they provide that are national in their benefits--e.g. education, crime reduction.
