He got no sales tax, I got no income tax

2018-08-21 19:21:47 UTC  

but you need to spend money for the economy!

2018-08-21 19:22:44 UTC  

If individual cities could compete with sales taxes, that could draw customers to different areas

2018-08-21 19:23:01 UTC  

Taxes confuse me tbh

2018-08-21 19:23:05 UTC  

whats even the best way to tax

2018-08-21 19:23:11 UTC  

a problem with that is to who gets the money from the sales tax

2018-08-21 19:23:25 UTC  

here different states got disproportionate cuts of the sales tax

2018-08-21 19:23:39 UTC  

Also, sales tax is voluntary, because you are deciding to purchase. Income tax is not voluntary

2018-08-21 19:24:20 UTC  

The proprieter isn't being taxed, just the customer.

2018-08-21 19:25:13 UTC  

If the business had an income tax as well, then the state would be collecting the customers sales tax, as well as the businesses income tax

2018-08-21 19:25:29 UTC  

Double dipping

2018-08-21 19:33:35 UTC  

the argument is is that it hits poor people harder than rich cause food basically

2018-08-21 19:33:37 UTC  

thats pretty much it

2018-08-21 19:34:05 UTC  

10% sales tax on food

2018-08-21 19:34:34 UTC  

the idea is that rich people could buy the same amount and just horde money

2018-08-21 19:34:42 UTC  

but yeah income tax can be really dumb like that

2018-08-21 19:35:41 UTC  

i mean cause sales tax in theory is better for super richies who pay most of the tax

2018-08-21 19:35:48 UTC  

the state wants that money

2018-08-21 19:35:51 UTC  

so they use income tax

2018-08-21 19:36:09 UTC  

but income tax for people who aren't super rich is a bit silly

2018-08-21 19:37:22 UTC  

well

2018-08-21 19:37:28 UTC  

with those things

2018-08-21 19:37:36 UTC  

the top 10% consume like 90% of the alcohol

2018-08-21 19:37:45 UTC  

here where i live their excuse for it is that 'it stops use'

2018-08-21 19:37:50 UTC  

but all it does is stop social drinkers

2018-08-21 19:37:54 UTC  

and makes alcoholics homeless

2018-08-21 19:40:05 UTC  

high tobaco and alcohol tax is a blessing to the people that smuggles it. did read a few years back that 40% of tobaco that is smoked in norway is not taxed in any way. smugles is making a killing from the insane high tax on tobaco

2018-08-21 19:40:23 UTC  

yeah that was a massive russian mafia scam

2018-08-21 19:40:33 UTC  

and a few years ago in the UK i believe it was 90% of tobacco was smuggled

2018-08-21 19:42:04 UTC  

the issue i have most with it is that their reasoning is is that they are 'helping these people' when they are just jewing off them

2018-08-21 19:43:53 UTC  

yea, it dont help at all, most alcholics get it fix taxastion or not, it a reason why you can get a bottle of russian vodka for the same as 6 pack of shity beer if you know where to ask

2018-08-21 19:45:26 UTC  

Dang....

2018-08-21 19:45:48 UTC
