Isn’t communism the devil or some dumb shit like that? We gotta protect our corporate overlords man, we wouldn’t want to live in a dictatorship where a very rich few control the world! /s
To some degree taxes need to be tied to cost of living. Someone making $70k in rural Texas vs NYC is going to have a very different cost of living and quality of life.
Flat tax is nice in theory, but it’s horribly regressive. 30% would be a nice reduction in taxes for anyone making $230k + or so, while a dramatic increase for anyone under 90k
In my dreams, we have a flat tax of 30% over all income beyond 40k per year.
And wouldn’t it be neat if, on the tax return form, there was question:
Where would you like your tax dollars to go: • education • military • foreign aid • welfare programs • don’t care, equally distributed
30? Lol, nah man, 50 when it gets to more than 1mil a year.
How about 100% tax on all income, but everything is free in reasonable amounts. 😉

The trick is what to tax when the ultra wealthy base most of their worth on stock.
This only would help if they would actually pay taxes at all.
