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.
Hmm I'm not sure about waving taxes on anyone, people need some accountability and that number seems kind of arbitrary. I still payed taxes when I was making 20k a year and I didn't die.
Perhaps poor people paying their taxes should be more an avenue of charity rather than government mandate. They still have to pay the same tax rate but they have easier access to charities where the supposed charitable ultra-rich can help them out
I'm not suggesting that we wave taxes. I'm saying we don't tax everyone for their first whatever amount we agree upon. Food, housing, normal traveling expenses. We don't tax the normal going rate of that on anyone. I don't want a government that takes in tax money a family needs for food. That seems really immoral.
Making people depend on charity isn't good for those people.
So it sounds like we agree, let's just get rid of all income tax. Everyone wins.
There's no such thing as freedom if you have to steal it from someone, I'm open to not taxing the first 50k if you also don't tax any amount after that too
