Agreed. I'm not looking for an increase of even 5, or even 2.5%. Just closing some loopholes that don't help anyone, or reducing offset taxes like capital gains by 5%, and an increase of 1%. Hell, I wouldn't even mind if the rich had their sales tax added as an offset.
The rich should be rewarded for spending money, not hoarding it.
I would like a break in the payroll tax, I would like breaks for every extra person who is hired. For example, the percentage of income you pay on payroll (minus the execs) is the percentage of taxed revenue you can defer. I mean wow, that would fix so much. So simple. Companies wouldn't say 'let's hire the cheapest labor possible', they'd say, 'for every dollar extra we spend on our payroll, we can defer another 30% of taxes, why not get capable employees?'.
The more we spend on our payroll and number of workers the better the tax offset we get.
Simply taxing a company less doesn't solve anything. You need to incentivize.
