MORE DEFICIT SOLUTIONS

New deficit solution #1: The STUPID fine.
New deficit solution #2: The ASSHOLE tax.

How it works: Every time you get caught doing something totally stupid, you pay a fine of 10% of your last years tax liability. Every time you get caught acting like a total jerk, you pay 10% of last years taxes.

Example #1: You are driving on the interstate and ignore 10 signs in 2 miles telling you the left lane is closed ahead because you just HAVE to get in front of as many other vehicles as you can before you get stopped in the traffic jam. I mean, after all, you DESERVE to be ahead of all the other vehicles, YOU'RE in a hurry. This is YOUR highway. How dare you people get in MY way? If you manage to force your way in without causing an accident, you get the asshole tax assessed. If you hit the cones, signs, or barrier because the people at the head of the line have had their fill of assholes like you and wouldn't let you over at the last second, you get the stupid tax assessed. If you cause an accident involving another vehicle, you are slapped with both fines, therefore becoming an official STUPID ASSHOLE and costing yourself 20% of last years federal income tax liability on top of the normal state fines for reckless driving etc. Said asshole earned $50,000 and paid $10,000 in fed income tax last year, making his contribution to deficit reduction $2,000.

Example #2: Congressman so-and-so states we can't base any more troops on Guam or Okinawa because the extra weight of men and equipment may cause the island to tip over and sink. Yep, that's right, one of our brilliant Congressmen actually said this at a House hearing!
Unfortunately I can't remember his name or state. Hmm, wonder if he can even remember his own name? Anyway, I digress. Said Congressperson earned $238,000 last year and paid $500 in fed income tax. Wait a minute, the first asshole made 50k and paid 10k in taxes, how did the Congressman only pay $500??? Ah well, it won't matter in the long run, even though the Congressman's fine is only $50, anyone that stupid will be paying that 50 bucks several times every day.

You ask how to enforce such taxes? Obama will appoint a "czar" to create another trillion $ federal agency to watch and listen to you via satellite 24/7.
