on Medicare and Medicaid and Defense. Then a straight % cut across the board for each Department in the federal government (other than defense). I don't have a percentage because I haven't crunched numbers.
But...
I'd also raise capital gains to match the individual tax brackets (no more 15% for Wall Street a**holes), Corporate Taxes and probably leave individual tax rates alone, although I might add a few brackets for higher individual earners above $1 million and $5 million.
And no I don't like taxes but when you're in debt it's because you've overspent. In our country, it's because we've coddled a select group of wealthy elite for decades and now it's time they pay America back. Or in my mind, stop getting such a great deal. They don't like it they can move somewhere else.
