Forty-Three Point Six -
Jack Goodwin is elected President and quickly reshapes the U.S. economy with a 43.6% top tax rate, major infrastructure spending, and a sovereign wealth fund designed to actively direct national investment.
The fund initially supports traditional energy but rapidly shifts into advanced sectors like AI, biotechnology, and nuclear fusion. Companies such as Teelium become symbols of the “Fifth Industrial Revolution,” while expanded public insurance and welfare programs further deepen state involvement in the economy.
This transformation sparks backlash. Senator Ron O’Donnell launches the NOTA movement, arguing the tax burden is excessive and calling for major rollbacks, including cuts to tax rates and the abolition of USFIC. His populist message gains traction but runs into institutional and political limits.
During a televised interview, journalist Rebecca Kendall challenges his proposals, exposing difficulties around funding, legality, and public reliance on established programs.
The exchange highlights a growing divide in American politics between Goodwin’s state-led economic restructuring and a rising anti-tax populist movement.

Tax Policy Details
- The 43.6 percent tax rate generated the highest revenue in modern U.S. history.
- Goodwin consistently argued that trickle-down economics failed:
- It widened wealth inequality
- It weakened the middle class
- He stated willingness to introduce a wealth tax if necessary:
- Potentially raising the effective top rate to 50 percent
NIIT Abolition and Tax Reform Logic
- The 3.8 percent NIIT (Net Investment Income Tax) was abolished.
- Reasons for abolishing NIIT:
- It suppressed consumer sentiment
- Capital shifted into:
- Bitcoin
- Cryptocurrencies
- Tax avoidance mechanisms
- Instead, a unified 43.6 percent rate was implemented.
- This made the system simpler and more transparent.
Historical Tax Comparison
- Biden and Trump era top rate: 37.6 percent
- With NIIT applied: 41.4 percent
- Obama-era combined rate:
- 39.6 percent + 3.8 percent NIIT = 43.4 percent
- Goodwin’s 43.6 percent rate:
- Only 0.2 percent higher than the Obama-era combined rate
- Effectively similar in real terms
Welfare and Structural Reform
- Goodwin concluded taxation alone could not sustain welfare systems.
- Introduced structural reforms:
- Sovereign wealth fund expansion
- Reinforcement of public insurance systems such as USFIC
Rise of Opposition: The NOTA Movement
- Senator Ron O'Donnell launched the NOTA movement.
- He reinterpreted the slogan "No Taxation Without Representation."
- His messaging strategy included:
- Claiming the 43.6 percent rate was excessively high
- Arguing it exceeded Obama-era taxation
- Omitting the fact that it is nearly identical to Obama’s combined rate
- This messaging is characterized as deliberate political distortion.

Jack Goodwin was elected President of the United States, and just over two years into his term he began reducing the national debt. The key was setting the top marginal tax rate at 43.6 percent, four percentage points higher than during the Clinton era. That policy was paired with bold infrastructure investments, the creation of a sovereign wealth fund, and massive funding for the Fifth Industrial Revolution focused on nuclear fusion, general artificial intelligence, terraforming, and robotics.
At first the sovereign wealth fund chased quick returns by investing in oil and gas. Soon, however, it pivoted sharply toward emerging technologies in Silicon Valley, new biotech hubs, and companies such as Teelium. Nautlix Inc. surged to the forefront of the Fifth Industrial Revolution with Teelium based nuclear fusion power plants, deuterium power systems, general artificial intelligence platforms, and terraforming projects. The Volta Group meanwhile expanded dramatically through advanced battery technology. The fund also helped close deficits in public insurance programs like USFIC and strengthened the broader social welfare system.
Jack Goodwin's 43.6 percent tax policy delivered the highest revenue in modern American history. Still he continued to call trickle-down economics a failed ideology that widened the wealth gap and weakened the middle class. Even Jack Goodwin himself could not be persuaded otherwise on that point. During the campaign he openly promised that, if necessary, he would introduce a new wealth tax to push the effective top rate all the way to 50 percent.
His opponent struck back hard. "This is socialism! It freezes investment and destroys the American spirit! Trickle down works! It creates jobs and keeps money circulating!"
Jack Goodwin answered without hesitation. "What you are saying is either delusion or a lie. Have you ever walked into a Walmart and looked at the price tags yourself? Have you ever visited working class neighborhoods while campaigning?"
That moment struck a deep chord. Millions of Americans exhausted by extreme polarization rallied behind him. The Democratic Party realized its own candidate could not win and instead nominated Jack Goodwin, a former Republican who had become an independent. He won the presidency in a landslide.
Instead, the 3.8 percent NIIT from the Obama era was abolished, because if the tax rate exceeded 40 percent, adding the 3.8 percent NIIT would make the perceived burden much heavier, bringing it up to 47.4 percent. By setting the rate at 43.6 percent instead, it was actually quite similar in simple terms to the Obama era combination of a 39.6 percent rate plus the 3.8 percent NIIT, which totals 43.4 percent, only 0.2 percent lower.
Success quickly bred backlash. Senator Ron O'Donnell twisted the historic slogan "No Taxation Without Representation" into the NOTA movement by playing on the letters "NO" and "TA." He held fiery rallies across the country.
O’Donnell shouted, “Even if he managed to pay off 25% of the debt in just two years through what he calls the Fifth Industrial Revolution, sovereign wealth funds, and infrastructure projects, the tax burden is still outright exploitation! 43.6%? That’s harsher than it was under Clinton and even Obama! If I become president, I will cut it down to 37% immediately!”
Crowds cheered and waved signs reading "Elect O’Donnell in 2028.”
You are present as the news reporter covering the story alongside Rebecca Kendall. The two of you sit down with Senator Ron O'Donnell for the interview. He leans forward and states firmly,
"No matter if Jack Goodwin paid off 25 percent of the debt in two years, even if he is God it does not matter. We need to reduce taxes. This is bad law. This is a law that exploits us. Moreover we must abolish USFIC and repeal the Sloane Act. When I become president I will restore everything to the way it was!"
Rebecca counters immediately.
"With all due respect Senator, if USFIC is closed, Americans have already tasted the health insurance benefits thanks to Obamacare and will not want to give them up. How will you persuade them? Goodwin Care, including USFIC, has already become indispensable to the American people. And this could even affect your own support base. Historically the Trump administration tried to repeal Obamacare and failed because many of its own supporters had benefited from it. How exactly do you plan to push through its abolition?"
Before Senator O'Donnell can reply Rebecca continues.
"Moreover, cutting the 43.6 percent rate unconditionally to 37 percent would mean that if the country lacks the necessary revenue, it will simply run up more debt again. Is that what you want? Is the America you envision one burdened with even higher debt? And do you realize that this tax, in simple rate terms, is actually very similar to the Obama-era combination of 39.6 percent and the 3.8 percent NIIT, which totals 43.4 percent? It is only 0.2 percent higher!"
She presses on without pause.
"Moreover, let us talk about repealing the Sloane Act. It already passed with a 62 to 38 vote and is now embedded in law. To repeal it would require a majority of senators to agree and a majority of governors to agree. How will you achieve that?"
Rebecca narrows her eyes at O'Donnell and leans in slightly.
"You say that when you become president you will repeal it. Even if we assume both the House and Senate are controlled by your party, what about the final hurdle of the Supreme Court? And how will you turn all fifty governors into your allies? Can you really fill every one of those fifty governorships with people on your side?"
Rebecca continues to expose the weaknesses in O'Donnell's position and in the entire NOTA movement. She keeps her eyes narrowed on him, the challenge clear in her gaze. The atmosphere in the room grows heavier by the second as everyone waits for his response.
