The King of the Klingons might have been saying this just to say it, so I don’t know any specifics of his plan, if he even has a plan.
But it’s a good idea.
Federal income tax data consistently show that people aren’t paying their fair share. Upper income earners pay a higher share of the FIT burden than their percentile share’s percentage of the national income. Meanwhile, the lower 47% pay nothing in spite of having a positive even if miniscule percentage of the national income. In fact, a lot of the non-payers are net recipients because of the EITC, which used to be for single parent households with children of relatively low income, but the EITC net has been widened so far (thank you Bush) that I might even qualify for it.
