During the last presidential election, one of the canidates mentioned flat taxes for wages, capital gains and consumption (sales/VAT).

a) If that $17T is made up of $9T in wages, $2T in Capital Gains and $6T in sales, what equal percentage is needed to meet the US budget of $4T?
b) If you add $2T for debt service what are the equal percentages?
c) If you could vary the percentages, what would be your mix?
