Sheboygan Man Says He Can Solve the National Debt Crisis in 30 Years or Less
SHEBOYGAN, WI — Forget political gridlock, special interest loopholes, and partisan bickering — one Sheboygan man says the solution to America’s $37 trillion national debt is just math.
Brian Bateman, founder of SheboyganLife.com, has crunched the numbers and claims the U.S. could be debt-free in 30 years or less. His plan? A 27% flat tax that applies to all income (yes, billionaires included), eliminating corporate taxes in favor of taxing profits directly to owners, closing the infamous “buy, borrow, die” loophole, and raising the federal minimum wage to $25 an hour.
“The numbers work. The problem isn’t math — it’s politics,” Bateman says in his in-depth article on DemocracySolution.com. His model factors in paying down principal and interest, with debt shrinking faster as interest payments drop each year.
Bateman’s plan is sure to ruffle feathers — especially among politicians, billionaires, and those who prefer the status quo. But he’s not just looking for applause. He’s actively inviting criticism, feedback, and alternative ideas.
“This isn’t about left or right,” he says. “It’s about using basic math to fix a national problem.”
