Unless there is a really fucking good reason
If you’re going to have income tax, progressive tax isn’t that bad. Provided you aren’t some Bernie Sanders nutter and want it to top out at 95%...
All progressives push for silly tax rates
110%
And they always end up completely undermining the tax base by taking ever more people out of income tax altogether
Our tax rates are okay, they just need to be properly enforced
Then you get fucknuts like Tony Blair who start paying corporations tax payer money to top up the wages of the poor
Progressive tax isn't bad in theory but I'd prefer not to be cock blocked into getting rich by said brackets
Then you get fucknuts like Tony Blair who open the borders to push wages down
how is tax execution in the uk @PureEvilPie
THen you get people like PureEvilPie that support both 😉
Fuck it all off. 25% GST. 25% import tariff on all goods. No corporate tax. No income tax. No estate tax. Nothing.
You just need the right method of being rich.
You can become a billionaire and not pay a penny if you balance where your spending goes, and follow grant permissions.
Tariffs should be flexible, no?
Nope
There's a good argument to be made for tariffs predicated on environmental damage
Consistency?
whats gst?
"general sales tax"
kk
Goods and services tax
Same same
ah ok
so tax on transactions basically?
ye
Yep
just extrajudicially assassinate tax dodgers
Basically the tax that everyone must pay if they want a governing power if they want to function on a system regulated by the government. In long-speak.
hm interesting
basically you dont pay because you earn but because you spend
Eventually the entire economy is going to be digital, with no cash. Embrace it. Get ‘er done. Make it the primary revenue source.
It won't, Scale_e, and if we let it, we're all absolutely fucked
It will
Utterly and irredeemably fucked
i fucking hope not
Look, if I thought we could avoid it, I’d be doing backflips with you.
bring back gold
But really, it’s inevitable
well the trend seems to be there
