Well, I mean of course there would be questions asked. I said that bit in the title as a figure of speech, a metaphor of sorts. You can ignore it if you want.
He seems like the only guy with enough common sense and clout to be able to get anything done if he were to get elected into office. And besides, he's great at making money and not losing it, so I'm sure he'd do a much better job of balancing the budget than Obama or W. Bush did.

Too many words. The American voter doesn't have time all of this critical thinking stuff. Please condense your rhetoric to 20 words or less, preferably in such a way that tells me why I'm smart and the people I disagree with are stupid.

rich people do this occasionally, I do believe the conservative talk radio/SmartMuffin response is something like "well if you want to pay more money to the government, just write a check yourself! don't punish all the other decent rich people by advocating more taxes for them!"
The upper echelon is taxed higher percentage wise, but the problem is really military spending and entitlements. If we could cut them both by 50 percent, which is really not unreasonable, we would wipe out the national debt over night.

No, we wouldn't.
However, we might be able to get rid of the deficit and thus cut the debt in the long term.
Of course, the US Government will never get rid of its debt under this system, because if the US had no debt then there would be no control of the money supply. Whether that should be the case is debatable, but there will always be government debt to some degree.

A nice tax system would only tax investments, not salary.
That would cripple the ability to make investments, because you can lose money on investments, while you can't have negative salary. Better to tax high salaries (you can have progressively higher brackets for 500k+, 1M+, and 10M+).
