Tbf, it's not like they're very good at using that money
Because you'd lose the overall tax income?
There's an argument that says lowering tax actually increases revenue
yeah to an extent
Maybe theres an argument to only seek tax receipts on certain transactions + corp tax
Like stock trading
So VAT?
No no
On business receipts
But this is pie in the sky
Maybe just like when money moves or transactions happen in money markets
You would have to impliment that strategy slowly.
For sure
Corporation tax should be based on how much societal good your company does
Not sure I can get on board for that
Maybe the reverse
At least partly, anyway
You get punishment taxes for violating social norms etc
As in... You get taxed less if you're doing good
Yes that's what I mean
So like, dumping shit in the river, bad move cunt, 10% tax
yup
holy fuck
The fact of taxation is that you must tax the productive elements of your economy, rather than the dregs. Business is the productive element of the economy, and therefore the majority of taxation should be levied there, as needs be. Taxing people after already taxing companies, simply shunts the burden of taxation from the wealthy, to the ordinary.
Fair
interesting
uhhh that is far too broadstroke
business != wealthy
and person != poor
I dont think that's what it says
its implied
It is, but taxes have to be applied broadly
I think the general is that normal employees are not uber wealthy
However you manage them
And that businesses are generally wealth holders/creators
The end goal would be to only apply taxation to those businesses which recieve market protections, enforced by the state, and bring the majority of people out of the need for it.
So patent holders etc
Want the benefit? Pay the cost, etc.
you'd just have businesses pull out and place their HQs in the EU
@notaglobe Not limited to that, as Government does a lot more.
