good news now lets see which country has the balls to do tax rate equality across all classes.

Not quite following you.   Do you mean flat taxes, ones graduated by income and resource use or something else?

I do like how, I think it's Sweeden, adjust your car ticket prices by income.  So a person with low income might have a $20 ticket, and a person who makes 20 million a year, might have a $400,000 one.

Yep flat rate taxes. They should come in. Why should people who work hard to move up in the workforce pay more taxes? 

EDIT: sorry had to rush out so coldn't finish typing and noticed i actually hit send.

My more taxes I mean a higher %. In a way I do not mind that but what is annoying is everythign is means tested. So jsut because you earn X you have to pay additional levys to fund say the public medical system. On top of that if you don't get private health you have to pay a further levy. Why do I have to be forced to get private health? Why don't I get a choice If I want the public system if I am already paying more taxes and extra levys?  This is obviously jsut one example, so I don't want to sidetrack this thread further off topic.

 

I think it really depends how they make and spend the money.

I think people working of the money, is quite different from others living off inheritance or something they haven't worked for.

Currently, the USA is severely stacked to the benefit of non-worker types.
