1. Any construction of a wall, fence, ditch, moat, ravine or other fortification of any kind intended to be constructed between the United States and any sovereign nation will be funded entirely by tax increases.

2. The sponsor of any legislation to construct any border fortification listed in the preceding paragraph will include a list of the tax increases in the legislation.

2a. Any tax increase package proposed must include an increase in the Inheritance Tax of at least 10 percent and must convert all individual taxpayers with gross income over one million dollars to a flat tax with no deductions at the highest marginal rate on all income earned or unearned from anywhere in the world.

3. Any cost overruns incurred in constructing the fortification will be funded with tax increases, which will be enacted prior to the commencement of the additional work.

4. At the conclusion of the border fortification project, all revenues produced by the tax increases described in paragraphs 2 and 3 shall be diverted to the reconstruction and/or replacement of bridges in the United States, and to the construction of a minimum four-lane bridge or tunnel between Ketchikan, Alaska, and Gravina Island, so as to fulfil the original agreement made between the government and the people of Alaska when Ketchikan's airport was constructed.
