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. |
Please point out where I said anything about no taxes. Go ahead. Try it.
Give a kid a box of cookies and he drops the cookies because he is careless, I'm not giving that kid another box of cookies. He's going to have to fight and beg for it.
Taxes have existed for thousands of years. Never have they been fair. Believing they can ever be fair is a delusional pipe dream. It is a war. One side wants more taxes (this is politicians of any party,) the other side wants fewer taxes (this is everyone that does not personally profit from higher taxes, that includes me and most likely you.) Anyone in government pushing lower taxes is lying, anyone not in government pushing higher taxes doesn't realize what side they are on.
Checks and balances. There is no such thing as peace. This is what keeps humans going.
