Exactly. Also, even though I dont like Trump personally, there never should be an issue with investigating how he made his money before he came into office. What about how Hillary became rich from all those speeches etc. AFTER she was senator of New York?
I love Jesse Ventura. I can't vote for him because I am a Canadian, ... but I listen to a lot of politics and he has always made a ton of sense. He is an extremely smart man and seems so approachable. I hope he decides to run for president. .... he just might win.

Americans on average spend a total $10.7 trillion a year, 10% of that is $1.070 trillion. That's just what the people spend. That doesn't include business to business sales like companies buying products to conduct business.

@@ozymandiaspbs I would be for that. NH property prices are probably lower than other states because higher property taxes drive down the price of the property.

Problem is sales tax is a regressive tax that impacts the poorest the most. If you live paycheck to paycheck you must spend every dollar you earn on living expenses and would thus be taxed on 100% of your income. While the more you make the lower the percentage of your income you would have to pay tax on.
I used to not take Jesse very seriously until I read a few of his books, I was wrong. I would vote for this man for president, I certainly would be happy to have him right now.
Long-term capital gains are taxed at 0% - if you other regular income is under $40k; and no more than 20% at higher income levels. That's even if the capital gains are 99.999% of your total revenues (all taxed at 0% if you don't work a job).
That's how it should be with all our government officials do your job for the country then go back to your home not a lifetime career, corruption is bubbling.....
@@joshmaddox2010 and how the goverment is going to fund police and military, thez will have to tax you one way or onother, calling taxes stealing isnt going to defend borders, you are as dumm as the defund the police crowd then.
If anyone takes the time to read the uscode title 26, that's the way the taxes are supposed to be applied already. Earned income is attributable to trade or business, individual tax was meant to separate partnerships in business together. You have to have capital material income producing factors. I have yet to hear anyone discuss the codes, it's no wonder nothing changes.
I agree with him on getting rid of the income tax and having a consumption tax. Problem is, every country with a national sales tax or VAT also has the same or higher income taxes as America.
Jesse is a real human i think he speaks truth because his words make sense and his words slide of his tongue with out having to think about being politically correct or worrying about what pretenders think i love truthful people.
I don't know about USA but in Canada, before ww1, as far as I know, there was no income tax. They used the war as an excuse to establish it and of course, they forgot to cancel it after the war. Jesse Ventura is a great guy and sooooo cool.
Before income tax was “ratified” our country utilized tariffs to fund our government. A consumption tax or exchange tax is an improvement over a payroll tax but I would like to see no tax at all. There are other alternatives to funding our government that does not put the burden on the working class.
Wasn't our government and economy a tiny fraction of what it is today? Not saying I disagree, but comparing how something worked 150 plus years ago before tech advancement, population growth, increasingly scaled up wars etc, doesnt hold much water. Example...we have fewer navy ships than in ww2, but our capabilities are way more with fewer ships. We dont have thousands of cavalry on horseback doesnt mean it worked better than the present day
Plus, tariffs aren't paid to us by another country, our citizens who consume foreign products absorb the tariff at the point of sale. Tariffs aren't a tax other nations pay, the domestic consumer pays which makes foreign goods less attractive in theory, thus driving demand for domestic goods. Except nowadays american consumers er rs only care about the cheapest product possible not the quality or the effect it will have on their own nation.
The issue with a national sales tax instead of income tax is that it is a regressive tax that hits the people on the bottom the most and progressively less the higher your income. If you are working class poor you have to spend every dollar you make just on living expenses so you would be paying tax on every single dollar you earn while those who make far more than they need to get by only pay tax on a portion of their income.
I would vote for Jessie Ventura if he ran for President of the Unites States of America. I'm an Independent and its about time we are represented in Washington.
I love Jesse and I’m not a fan of Income tax but if we switched to a consumption tax we would have a banking crisis. It would provide incentives not to consume and companies would default loans and fire employees
Why haven’t we done a required audit of Fort Knox in over 40yrs? I know why, the government spent it all and don’t want us to know because we would over throw them
Exactly. This was accomplished back in the 50's, 60's, 70's by having a very high top marginal tax rate. The top rate was 91% in the 50's when Eisenhower was president. It worked VERY effectively in creating a large middle class and a thriving economy. Since the 80's, we've have had a relatively low top marginal tax rates and guess what? We are now 22 trillion in debt and the wealth of the nation is highly concentrated at the top. A small group of large corporations and billionaires basically run the country by controlling the government and the media. Greed is killing this country
Average Joe Very true. I personally know people who say that they don’t care if the policy is the same as the opposing party, as long as their party is in charge 🤦♂️

If Federal tax was abolished the states would raise it. Not hard to understand. The money has to come from someplace. Depending on which state you live and how they spend.
@TheEsotericDesi Income Tax does not pay to run the nation. It goes directly to the interest on the national debt and likewise for the states. We run our country on other constitutionally levied taxes.
@@robinsss Why the hell not? They are the one's who are profiting the most from the system so they should pay the most back in. If they can give millions upon millions to political campaigns so that they can own and control the government, then they can damn sure pay more taxes. The country is 22 trillion in debt fro Chrisakes! Look at what the top marginal rates were back in 50's and 60's, much higher than today. It's what built this nation and created what used to be the world's largest middle class. What really matters is how we spend it. Do we spend it on things that actually benefit the US citizens or do we waste it on endless, unnecessary warfare?
