Subject: Paying off National Debt
If the tribes could stop being the tribes for a milli second.


For argument's sake - take out extremes like someone dirt poor or handicapped.

But....

They say the national debt is around $95k per person. What would happen if, presto - every American is taxed 95k and it can be paid back from ages 20-70.

50 years, around $2K PER YEAR.

So less smartphones are bought. Less tattoo parlors are patronized. Maybe the average price of a new car that people buy reduces a bit.

I dunno.... $100k for a lifetime of living in America?

If I had to I'd probably take that deal. Consider it "streaming service" or something.
