Govt would operate for about 4 months then run out of money--exactly like they are doing today-- Spending is the problem , not tax revenue.
Everyone would then be screwed because then we would all be living with only $1000 or a few thousand more to live on each year and lots of people would starve and this country would become one of the poorest countries in the world, even though the government would have tons of money. What's even worse is that if we did this for a while we still wouldn't be able to pay off the country's debt for a long time. And everyone would go to jail because no one would pay this tax.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
