Methinks one SHOULD be able to live here without taxes. In the home of liberty and freedom, the option of freedom from taxation should be possible.
Income tax? No income, no tax.
Property tax? That’s not a tax, that’s _rent_; if you own your real estate, you should OWN it - meaning you keep it regardless of whether you pay protection money for it.
Sales tax? Staple foods, and comparable other raw materials, should not be taxed.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m not favoring the “47%”; they’re working a broken system.
No refundable tax credits.
No welfare, save for true “through the cracks” cases.
No subsidies.
Eliminate enough waste of tax revenue, eliminate enough “redistribution”, stop playing “world police”, and the need for taxes at all nearly evaporates.
Recognize that basic existence should not have to pay tribute money for continuation thereof; if you’re functioning at the bottom 5% of incomes, own what you own outright (no “protection money”), and really take care of your own square foot, the government should leave you the heck alone.
Life should be tax-free.
If anything gets taxed, it should be what really are luxuries.
How’s life in Fairy Tale Land? La, la, la Blue skies, Free Pie, no need for government because all the People are perfect in Fairy Tale Land.
Hysterical.
Is national defense a luxury in your world?
