Higher Taxes I choose you!

Fixed.
@Monty
Mafoo is right. Somewhat.
|
so we shouldnt tax the super rich? what do you think taxes do? they pay for your police force, your army, and anything else in the public sector, progressive taxation is the only sensible tax system
|
That's not what I am saying. Everyone should be taxed. Just make it a percentage of whatever you make. For example, 10% federal tax on 100,000 dollars is different from the same percentage on 10,000 dollars. That's what the government should do, but until then, I will be waiting for my refund in the mail.

oic imo taxes should be proportional to income
example:
Salary: under 10k = Tax: 0%
10-20k = 5%
20-50k = 10%
50-100k = 25%
100k-1m = 50%
1m+ = 75%
this should apply for most taxes, income tax, local tax, inheritance tax, corporation tax, etc
|
You do realize that under your tax brackets someone who makes 1 million would have more takehome pay them someone who makes 1 million and 1 dollars right?
|
its just an example to illustrate my point, if you think the 75% bracket should start a bit lower, thats fine
|
And I think we already waste too much tax money on stuff that doesn't work. Feeding more money to the inefficien t system before there is reform in how it works is foolish.
It's like trying to pour water in a cup with a hole. The answer isn't to pour more water it's to fix the hole.
We could accomplish all we accomplish now on a much tighter budget.
|
i agree, the system needs alot of reforming and improving, but a bigger budget would certainly help with the reforms, think how good schools and hospitals (uk) could be?
|
The UK is smaller then most states.
As such the overhead of the US is going to be MUCH bigger. Also being less densley populated it means we waste more money as "pet projects" are "needed" for every senator and congressman.
If the US adopted a UK type school and hopsital system it would cost many times more the UK systems which are already really expensive.

which is why you need progressive taxation, helps with that problem
