how about this, base percentages are listed and you can add or subtract up to 5%. SS would for now be a set percentage. Ultimately all the percentages would add up to 100%. So:
samples
base tax return(italics not changeable):
Def:24% Hlthcare:22% Welfare:12% Education:4%
Pensions:22% Interest:6% Other:10%
allowing +/- 5% for a person's discretion:
NC Skins
Def: 19 Hlth:24 Welfare 14 Ed: 5 Other:10 P&I 28
AW
Def 29 Hlth:20 Welfare 9 ed 4 other 10 P&I 28
FD
Def 29 Hlth:22 Welfare 7 Ed 4 other 10 P&I 28
Mine
Def 22 Hlth 22 Welfare 12 Ed 6 other 10 P&I 28
Obviously this is purely a simplistic example, but it wouldn't be any harder to implement then the rest of the boondoggle that is the US tax code
(enter slinging sammy with fair tax discussion)
