Think about it, what are taxes for? To pay for all the things we share as a people: government, roads, healthcare etc.
If we're getting an equal amount out of the system why is it fair to expect people to pay different amounts into that system. Think about it, If you go out for dinner with friends and all eat the same amount you wouldn't expect to pay the bill based on your incomes.
That's why if you really wanted a "fair" system everyone would pay a flat dollar rate, such as $5000/person. I realize that's not realistic but perhaps we could meet in the middle with a flat tax rate, which would mean rich people would be paying WAY more than poor people. Don't even get me started on tax brackets, you're taxing people for being successful? That's just legalized theft and beyond mental.
Also, why do we never question income tax? That's a relatively new invention, you're telling me I now have to pay money to make money and then ALSO to spend money? That's fucked up, it's double dipping by the government and it's immoral.
Nailed it, OP. And Property Taxes on family homes are an unforgivable disgrace. Don't pay the Government their yearly bribe? They'll drag you and your kids out, kicking and screaming...then auction the house off to the highest bidder. Doesn't matter if you're a disabled vet, a paraplegic, a cancer survivor or Jesus himself. They own your family home...not you- you're just leasing it by the year.
Yep . That way you are forced to be productive. I understand it sucks but it makes sense. There are countries with really low property taxes and the land remains empty because the taxes are extremely low.
Second. Think about infrastructure. People move close to infrastructure where they have jobs. Then they retire . Now you have to options . Make the next generation LESS Productive and make them commute longer distance . Or implement tax and make the retirees move somewhere else. Again i understand it might suck but it makes sense.
it also makes sense to link everyone up to a machine to make sure nothing bad happens
