Revenue

The current structure of taxation and debt is reducing an individual’s spending power, increasing the governments’ spending power, and redistributing the individual’s profit to government corporations and private corporations which incessantly lobby for an increase in expenditures.

The Commonwealth and the U.S. have systematically increased expenditures through massive tax rates, debts, and unfunded liabilities over the previous 25 years. In 2000, the national debt was 5.67 trillion dollars and today it is 38 trillion dollars. While our Republican party currently champions the elimination of the income tax, it will destroy us. Income inequality is a division this state cannot ignore.

There are more than 700,000 individuals in Kentucky living in poverty. We are the 5th poorest state in the U.S. In 2025, our state government collected 18 billion dollars from individuals and 32 billion dollars from the federal government with an additional 19 billion dollars from the federal government was sent to our county governments, corporations, and individuals.

We are eliminating our income tax by increasing sales and service taxes. The result will be greater income inequality. In 2013, Tennessee was 19th in income inequality, they implemented the same income tax policy we have today in 2016 and in 2025 their state ranks 3rd in income inequality. New York ranks 1st in income inequality and on November 4, 2025, they elected a Communist.

All state taxes must be eliminated and replaced by a dual transaction tax where every transaction is taxed except government transactions. State income taxes, state real and personal property taxes, state sales tax, excise tax and usage taxes, corporate taxes, service taxes, and a few transactional taxes are currently collected by corporations, and then redistributed by our state government to government corporations and private corporations.

A dual transactional tax (DTT), ½ to the buyer and ½ to the seller of 4% increases the individual’s buying power to 98%. A DTT also taxes every transaction of corporations, which have eluded taxation since the Virginia Company, as there is no King’s charter, ruler/enforcer society is disassembled by the separation of corporation and state, and there is no reason the engine of our economy cannot be taxed the same as an individual and contribute to the enforcement of the state’s laws.

Especially since the corporation will be exempt from local, county, or state real estate taxes, personal property taxes, profit taxes, and the expense of lobbying government by separation of corporation and state. Revenues will be supplemented by administrative fees through licensing. Every license is subject to fee or fine and the individual or corporation will be individually accountable for their administrative costs.

State revenues will further be supplemented by state economic development projects. These projects will be discussed in the Administration of the Governor’s Office section.
County revenues are permitted to tax real and personal property. If the real property and personal property tax rates remain at their current level (county administrations and tax rates adapt quickly through voting), then county revenues would triple, if not quadruple.

This revenue will boost county law enforcement agencies, county jails, county education administration, county road upgrades, provide improvements in emergency management, etc. Counties must also be permitted to merge, if necessary, to consolidate costs and improve county services. Any merger would require state ratification. Our county governments represent the true will of the people as counties provide direct services, direct access, and county laws and elected officials are easily challenged and changed if deemed necessary by the will of the individuals.
