If the only tax you paid was 30% or 40% on what you spent every year excluding food, medicine and primary residence where would you stand? A 3% transfer tax on investment property (real and personal). Distributed 20/20/60 -- locals/state/feds. Maybe it would work out at a 20% or 25% rate -- IDK
Years ago we used to say: You are either part of the solution or part of the problem.
I guess we would have mass unemployment of tax accountants and tax collectors  They could dig ditches or something. |
We pay taxes on water, food, electricity, air, gas, phone, AND we pay taxes to state AND IRS every year.
11 countries have no income tax, we can adapt and do the same. Taxing everything makes citizens angry and feel like the system is holding us down, death by a thousand cuts.
I'd rather have mandatory service to country than taxes. Something where you volunteer a certain job once a month.
If you make hospitals, banks and schools government institutions, what's that called?
