A standard deduction of $25,000 in the United States.

It would:

Stimulate the economy Lessen the impacts of poverty Encourage more people to go on to higher education

To offset the money lost in taxes:

Add 1/2% to all the tax brackets. Stop overspending on our military

Logistically we don't need to intervene in anything outside of the United States.

We don't need to send billions to distant wars, we don't need to pretend to care about other countries just to secure our oil and gas supplies
