and this is EXACTLY what happens here.

it also does not make sense to pay MORE taxes that is the good old error what even governments do.
a states tax income does not depend on how much one pays - it depends how FAST money turns from one hand to the other. everytime when money goes from one hand to another the state gets his part on the taxes.

money only turns fast when people have enough to spend. and the prices they have to pay for goods are the biggest indicator for that.

this is also why poor people with low tax are more profitable for an economy as rich people who can not even spend the money the make.
poor people have to spend all and that means it ALWAYS will leave their hands.

all i read read from your philosophy is that you have never learned or studied economy. you are talking like all this millions in bear bars who all know it better as the ones who have spend years in school to understand it.

you are on the same knowledge level as all these other trump supporters and this is why
things can not become better because this kind of bee and flower thing does not work in the complicated world of economy.
and this is why hobby economists are the last ones who will be able to make it any better.
