As a federalist I oppose big federal government and the associated taxes to support it. However, ratification of the 16th Amendment forces me to comply so I advocate taxes be implemented fairly. Here are some suggestions toward reversing the past several decades trend of increasing the wealth gap.

1. Change the long term capital gains tax for married filing jointly as follows: tier one, $0-$77K stay at 0%; tier two, $77K-$479K from 15% to 18%; tier three, >$479K from 25% to 30%
2. Change the income tax rates for married filing jointly as follows: tier one, $0-$19K stay at 10%; tier two, $19K-$77K stay at 12%; tier three, $77K-$165K from 22% to 20%; tier four, $165K-$315K from 24% to 25%; tier five, $315K-$400K from 32% to 35%; tier six, $400K-$600K from 35% to 40%; tier seven, >$600K from 37% to 50%.
3. Reduce the estate exemption from $11.4M to $5.5M.
4. Increase S and C Corporation tax rates to 30% while maintaining the Benefit Corporation tax rate at 21%.
5. Allow nonprofit corporations tax exemption for all unrelated activities profit.
