A person is a corporation currently, no? Plus other entities, and the 1-2% So we've been doing just the opposite from what you propose so far.

Just a wag, but I'll bet since Citizens United was done away with, the extra influence has accrued money to Corps, etc., as the debt increased. The good news is that it doesn't seem to hurt us as much as we thought it would, but the bad news is that this continues. So if we leave the money pot open where people can get it, people behave like people. Everything gets corrupted, and the messaging system gets corrupted too. So if we follow this principle...

The scheme you are proposing is already corrupted if you didn't include corporations and other entities, and you didn't as far as I can see. So why didn't you Wilton? Why did you make a proposal that left out corporations, etc., who are the ones who most benefited from making that debt. Why leave out the ultra wealthy who shifted the burden of tax down?
