There is much urgency in the USA in 2008 to get its government spending and tax systems in line with good and efficient usage of the common tax coffer. 

Estimates of the current U.S. government’s federal deficit—including borrowing which took place decades ago—now is at over 65 trillion dollars. 

This juggernaut of a deficit means that every citizen in the USA (as part of the great USA) owes $165,000 in federal debt or that each full-time employed person in the USA owes $375,000.

In short, with all this debt, we Americans are simply still not getting the health, social development and physical safety owed us.

How might we get what is owed us in terms of better government or commonweal?

A more transparent tax system is one of those immediate reforms which is needed—however, we American do not need an easy-but-bad flat tax which still does not shine the light on how the federal government squanders tax money on ill-thought out policies & programs.

Despite this glaring need for Americans to reign in government squandering of money and provide horrible mis-spending practices the light of the day, there has been little to no innovation in the income tax system for decades.

An innovation like that which I am proposing, i.e. which really addresses the transparency problems inherent in our federal government spending and taxing, would have solved the cost overrun problems to America found regularly in the defense, security and war-making department expenditures.

The replacement of the current income tax with three separate smaller taxes would allow Americans to get a grip on the three different tmajor  areas of their lives which are affected adversely by the current open-ended and uncontrolled U.S. income tax system. 

Dear America, ask your congressmen, your presidential candidates and yourself, “Do we want to have a flat sales tax that (1) disproportionately harms the poorest and (2) continues to depopulate rural America?”

Also, ask yourself whether America couldn’t do much better in terms of government spending transparency in the future if we used a system like the one I have advocated to replace the unfairness and lack of transparency of the current income tax system?

I believe we deserve better.

In summary, the three different taxes proposed now by me to replace the current system in effect in the USA would be named: (1) education and social infrastructure tax, (2) management of sciences and physical infrastructure tax,  and (3) the security and defense tax.

Such a tripartite division in our taxes in the USA would empower all Americans to cry foul and get retribution in terms of tax reduction. 

With more clarity, we concerned Americans and businessmen could campaign to kick-out the tax-and-spenders in the government when any single one of these 3 areas of spending becomes way-out-of-line in terms of our own ability to pay (and out-of-line of the interest of most any American—such as is the case in the current expensive federal government sponsored, manipulated & long-running War on Terror--and its expensive and deadly Iraqi Sideshow).
