| Kasz216 said: Yeah... that's what percentages are for. Taxing people an exact percentage of what they've worked. For every 10 hours you work. We tax you 2 hours etc. It is fair. When you tax on what you can afford you ignore the work spent to make that money and the value of what the people who work provide the country. That is why it is a flat percentage. Rather then one way focusing only on total paid (everyone pays 2,000) or the other (Everyone pays based soley on income.) |
You have a weird idea that people's income has anything to do with how many hours you work. Some people work 60 hours a week for $50,000 a year, and some people work a few hours a day and make hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Answer this. Is it fair for everyone to pay the same tax, where poor people pay $2,000 tax and rich people pay 2,000 tax?
