So low tax

not always

Yes always

Maybe 1% of situations not always

have you guys taken college level economics?

Yes

I can't think of many times in history where the populace was prosperous and the economy wasn't also

@PanickedPaladin There isn't a single one

there are situations where leaving the economy to its own devices doesn't work.

Sure

There needs to be a little regulation

Classical economics failed

Higher taxes is one of the major contributing factors to the end of any civilization

Yes

And most of the taxes recieved anyway are wasted

Low tax for all groups has proven to do extremely well. Just look at Trump's tax plan and our booming economy right now

What's the point of working if you get money for doing absolutely nothing

People don't want to pay Mr. Rome taxes when Mr. Rome spends all their money on gladiator battles and sex slaves

The top tenth of a percent can afford to pay a little bit in taxes instead of buying another summer house.

The US spent like 7 million on vietnamese prostitutes once O.o

Also a lot of that tax money used to go into Global Warming funding, luckily not anymore

If I had 7 million dollars I could have probably ended the Vietnam War

@LOTR_1 When you have more money, you can open more businesses, and make more jobs, and get more money, and the cycle repeats

You can't be so naive

Dude

How are we wrong?

History says we are right

You are not wrong theoretically.

and our current administration

There is a reason France sucks rn

The highass taxes

Their economy is in ruins

France is extreme

Only thing keeping them alive is tourism

they are not quite in ruins lol

Well, not yet

Give it time

Their migrant crises will put them there

Like, I wish I wasn't so confident in France's fate, but there it is

Can someone give me an example of a successful country that taxes highly

All of Scandinavia.
