1 I am all for a few Constitutional or Tax Amendments.

LIKE:
NO US Taxpayer $$$$$ shall be given to non-citizens, or foreign nations.

The US Federal Budget must be balanced and the total National Debt shall not exceed 10% of the previous fascial year collected tax revenues.

A person shall not be Federally taxed more than 15% of their working income.

Retiree based income, shall not be taxed after Age 65.

All shall apply except in time of DECLARED War, which threatens the continued operation and safety of the USA homeland citizens.

Any other suggestions

4 The tough one will be ER costs. Folks without insurance tend to use the ER for basic health. The hospital can’t easily avoid providing emergency healthcare. If the hospital isn’t compensated they charge others more or go bankrupt. Hospitals mitigate this by eliminating ER services.

5 Retiree based income, shall not be taxed after Age 65.

Do you mean to exclude Social Security and pension monies, NN2N1, or all income? Because while some retirees are scrimping to get by, others are multimillionaires, and can well afford to pay regular taxes.

6 Similar to what my friends in the health care world are telling me here, Mr Hose.

'Entitled' person's child has a runny nose, off to the ER where the treatment costs are roughly 400-600% higher than the nearby Urgent Care facility that is open at the same time.

7 ^You're not rational about this stuff when you're a parent. You just know that you're child is having trouble breathing and you run for a hospital. You don't worry about the details.

8 If you look at the finances of border hospitals in Texas, many were going out of business during the Obama Admin because there were so many illegals that were getting care and couldn’t pay. In stepped the Federal government probably with FEMA funding. Soon FEMA was solely focused on that role. Hurricane in NC - who cares? FEMA is taking care of the illegals. If the Fed spigot is closed, hospitals in California, Illinois and New York are in trouble.

9 #7 Bullshit. I was behind a Hindu family with a runny nose, and Brahmin Entitlement was oozing out of every pore.

Investments generating NEW greater INCOME should be Taxed. I am talking my IRA, IROC PENSION should NOT be. Because the funds were alreay pre-taxed to build them.

12 "The Trump administration is working toward cutting illegal migrants off from federal tax benefits and money transfer services, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Friday."

Well, DUH.

That makes sense. Thank you for explaining, NN2N1.

14 Brahmin Entitlement was oozing out of every pore.

One would think entitled Brahmins would prefer private doctors for a runny nose, rather than being jumbled in with the hoi polloi in the ER.
