ii iv viii	Merry Christmas and Happy New Year NEW - In 2016 the 2-4-8 Tax Blend will become 2-4-8 Tax Choice The "choice" would allow all taxpayers to choose an income tax rate between 8% and 28% paired with a net wealth tax rate of 2% going down to zero. Wealth taxes paid would reduce Estate and Gift taxes (also set at 28%). This would encourage wealthy individuals to pay some net wealth taxes as a form of inexpensive life insurance.	Wealth 0% 0.5% 1% 1.5% 2%	Income 28% 23% 18% 13% 8%
		Business C - Corp	4% VAT 8% Income
