i'm seeing alot of uneducated opinions on the necessity of taxes, it's almost like there is literal mountains of information publicly accessible and we are instead choosing to not research that and come up with a grade school solution to a problem far greater than that :unsure:


Then u should read what he posted more carefully, its so progressive it would be labelled communist if anyone proposed it.

i agree, only a teenager would think limiting wealth beyond a certain point is workable. people should be allowed to accrue whatever amount of wealth they can.

30% sales tax isn't going to work. A 5%-10% VAT is realistic, though. The problem with our tax code is not income brackets, anyone with 5 open rows in excel should be able to figure that out.

That’s the whole point isn’t it? Rich people get to keep proportionally more of their money and the tax burden is moved to lower earners.

Proof.


All the public institutions and infrastructure would move to the private sector. If you’re paying for your kids education out of pocket, you will be spending less money elsewhere. Also, you better be stocking up on brawndo, it has what plants crave.
