In our country we tax criminals and sex offenders through fines and user fees, so why not tax the politicians? We know that many politicians enguage in criminal behavior, and those who don’t probably are wasting a lot of public money mostly for their own benefit.

Politicians spend a lot of the public’s money, often for their pet causes. So why not ask them to contribute a little more tax dollars to society’s benefit as a whole? Why not have a have a 10% income surcharge on top of their existing tax bracket, something that is affordable enough for the average man who wants to get into the dirty business of politics, but also enough to make up for what the politicians take from society.

While it’s probably not realistic to make politicians tax themselves, it does seem like a good idea. When political people take so much from society, they should be asked to give a little bit more back, in the form of a modest 10% surcharge on all income earned.
