If the trolls are finished lets have a serious discussion please
Govt spending per household is 50 grand a year.....rather high
What is a fair amount percentage wise for the govt to be taking from earnings{as a whole}
I shot out 25 percent then 28 percent later...and also allowed welfare checks to be sent to those in need..which would allow wealth distribution as result.
Is the govt really supplying 50 grand worth of our needs a year per household.
We work..pay for our own shelter, buy our own clothes,own food,many pay their own medical.
They supply the roads,protections services etc...coming to 50 grand per household.
This is going to take a rather large percentage portions of earning to accomplish.
At what point does the govt supplying the needs of the people become to large and harm growth and prosperity.
The more the govt spends...the more everything has to cost..as you are paying for that burden.
If we tax lets say manufacturing corp x 5 million dollars...it is still the consumer that paid for as that is where the funds came from to buy the products originally...the company has to charge for a product as taxes are overhead just like labor and materials...this include property taxes..payroll taxes corp taxes..taxes on their electric...they pay for freight..of which will be higher as the trucking company hand the added cost down to them.,,same for materials etc....as said taxes are an overhead and are handed down along the line.
Taxing the rich more increases the prices of a good or service which means the consumer is essentially paying the tax anyway....remember the funds come from the consumer to begin with....so your guys scale bracket method of taxing does not have near the impact you think it does aiding lower incomes
What is a fair percentage for the govt to take as whole of our earnings....lets face it increased govt spending is the pattern..but have our needs been further met?....No we still have to provide for ourselves what we have always provided...the price of govt services itself is what keeps going up...not the level of govt services we receive in proportion to the spending.
What next year?...higher taxes and the same level of service?
At what point do we say...here is the percentage you get as a whole..use it wisely...you can not have an efficient govt if they are not forced to budget what they have.
Its always easy to spend someone else money.
