seen way too many ppl on welfare for the wrong reasons and exploiting it like they hit the lottery

I forget the term, but personal income tax wasn't a thing until Woodrow Wilson, aka top 3 worst presidents ever list, implemented it in WW1

I'm aware

But still... 15% tax of what?

Sales tax at 15%?

If you want a 15% flat tax it has to be based on something

back in the 80's and before ....getting on welfare limited what u could buy for food(they had their own food brands of gov meat, milk and cheese/eggs)...and utils had to be limited in usage, no cars or anything like that and u had to report monthly for drug testing and interviews

welfare back then was like 'universal income'...u felt ashamed to be on it so u pushed urself to get a job

then i hear about all these morons pushing for 'univsersal basic income' ...they have no clue what that means

And yes, they used to tax the income of businesses and corporations, and even then it was optional and not supposed to apply to the average Joe

bro used to be on welfare in his between phase with his family between military and finding a job...he really hated it

If businesses were taxes 15% of all income prior to business spending and providing payroll, then it wouldn't be much different than if each person's personal income was taxed, and it would make the government's life and the avg. Joe's life easier. Maybe some 5% tariffs for a little bit of additional income, but it eliminates a lot of stupid crap. 70,000 pages is ridiculous. The Founding Fathers wanted government to be simple and small, and taxes to be minimal. This would allow for that imo. Sorry for not explaining it better sooner.

I gotcha, you want income tax like it used to be, and how it's technically still written on the books... For large businesses and corporations

actually they never wanted taxes at all ..just trade tariffs

they also implemented some excise taxes. very little though

This is probably a better suited discussion for like the economics channel or something

most of the excise taxes were implemented thru free piracy against the nation's enemies

Before y'all get ripped on

You're probably right

quick, post a taxation meme
