         <description><![CDATA[<div>In order to build up the country's revenue, we need to issue federal income taxes to all businesses.

         <description><![CDATA[<div>          As of now, the government issues ranges of income values that they use to decide how much to tax in their income. This is inefficient since the higher ends of the ranges are effected less financially than those in the lower ranges.&nbsp;<br>          The percent of income that is taxed should instead by decided individually based on the personal incomes of the populations. For example, an income of $12,000 may get taxed 30%, while 12,500 may get taxed 31%.</div>]]></description>
