The basic premise of The 33% Solution is this; if 33% of every Americans’ earned income is paid to the federal government as a tax by their employer, the federal government will have plenty of money to take care of all of us in peace and in war, in sickness and in health, till death do us part.[1]

• Americans deserve a compassionate tax system where the administrators work for the taxpayer and not visa versa

The 33% Solution is fair and compassionate.

• Americans deserve a tax system that minimizes and simplifies reporting, paying and filing taxes

The 33% Solution eliminates the need for you to file a tax return.

• Americans deserve a tax system that is free from the excessive influence of greedy and self-interested lobbyists on legislation and the awarding of contracts

The 33% Solution makes lobbying obsolete in its current form.

• Americans deserve a tax system that supports the federal election process financially and in a significant way.  The aim here is to make sure that the character and policy ideas of the candidates are what America sees, not just the cardboard cartoon-like images of candidates that 527’s create and the talking points consultants make up

The 33% Solution entirely removes special interests from the election process.

• Americans deserve a national funding system for health care that makes sure every American can afford health insurance

The 33% Solution preserves Medicare and guarantees health care to all Americans.

• Americans deserve retirement options that allow them to retire with dignity and without worrying about taxes when they are living the last years of their lives…  The 33% Solution makes retirement income planning a simple tax-neutral process that benefits every American.
