| ramses01 said: This is complete and utter nonesense. The flat tax is the only fair tax. If you want to have segmented tax rates, then the poor should pay a HIGHER tax rate than the rich as they consume a disportionate amount of the services. If the poor can't afford the taxes then they should get better jobs, it is as simple as that. |
Actually, if you count the largest benefit of the public service (maintaining law and order), you'd find that the rich benefit much more immensely, or else no contract would be worth the paper it's written on. The rich absolutely rely on the public order to keep their assets from being stolen and them left gutted on the sidewalk. Just because the rich don't call on the police as much as the poor doesn't mean they don't rely on them as much....
