So on top of my Sales and Property tax proposals for the Federal Debt, I propose a 5% Federal Direct Tax on certain raw materials: Copper, Gold, Silver, Platinum, Palladium, Rhodium, Lumber, and all precious gemstones mined/harvested in the 50 states or territories.

I'd use the lumber direct tax to construct low income housing in every major city for poor retired people and disabled people to live in cheap apartments.

the Copper Direct Tax would be used to make pennies and to have a federal reserve of copper for wiring for government needs.

The other Precious Metals and Precious Gems would be used to back the U. S. dollar. As debts are paid, thanks to the VAT tax and Property Tax suggestions from the other thread, it would make sense to deflate the dollar by backing it with these precious metals. In fact, once the debt is totally paid, it would make sense to further back the dollar by striking coins made of these precious metals and putting them in circulation. so we could "semi-fix" the dollar in terms of these precious metals, which would stabilize the stock markets and mutual funds; In particular since Oil and Coal would be taxed $30 per ton Carbon for Coal and maybe $1 per gallon for Oil, we would then stop the "Oil/Gold Flip-Flop" in the stock market by stabilizing both prices with respect to the dollar and one another..

In addition, I propose A progressive fine system for people who burn trash and leaves and sticks in their yard. $100 for first offense, $200 for second offense, $500 for third offense, $1000 for fourth offense, $2000 for fifth offense and so on. This would encourage composting to reduce CO2 pollution and other fire related pollutants.

Also, Pet Food should have a Federal Sales Tax of 10%. We should discourage excessive pet ownership, because they are bad for the environment.

I would propose a 50% Federal Match-Pay system for all Solar, Wind, Hydro, Geothermal, and Thorium Nuclear installments, which greatly extends value of private monies

A 5% Federal VAT is all you would need to pay down the Federal Government Debt in a single human lifetime. This is the MORAL thing to do.

In addition we could just spend half as much on the Military each year and thereby pay the debt down in about 2/3rds the time.

The Lower 40% of wager earners could be credited this money on their Federal tax returns, so their net payment is zero.

Alternatively, you could have a 1% Federal Property tax on all Property over 1 million dollars, and a 2% Federal tax on all property over 3 million dollars, and this would pay the Federal Debt and Deficit in one lifetime. Either way, it's doable.
