So, I work hard, my ass off, 5 days a week, 11 months a year, and I pay 1/3 or 1/4th of it so that pidophiles dont pay taxes.
Income tax, VAT, property selling tax are all theft. There is no logic behind it.
The taxes that should exist is: Wealth tax, nature tax for the businesses that damage nature, and that is it. And no tax should be over 5%.
Wealth tax: 0%, income tax: 30% this is unacceptable. You either pay no taxes or you pay everything as tax.

I actually calculated it, and yearly 2.5% of wealth tax should be enough. And also, countries have a lot of resources, that also can help their budget, like mines or rented lands that are owned by government etc.

If we taxed wealth, not work, we could buy our houses way easier, we could buy land way easier, we could find a job way easier because we are not gonna pay income and vat, businesses will be able to hire people freely, and everybody can own a business easily. Nowadays, if you are poor it is so hard to create a business. You have a lot of expenses.

      Income tax is work tax. You are paying 30% of your labor every month. Don’t you get it? When you tax wealth and not work, a person with a billion dollars, gets taxed 20 million dollars a year, while a person with no wealth and gets 3K dollars a month, doesn’t pay taxes, because he is poor af.
      Currently, Billion dollar guy pays nearly nothing even though this won’t effect his life much, while the worker pays 1K a month even though he needs it to live.

      Okay, let say, I believe you, then how what you posted stops work taxing? You cannot separate what one earns, from what one works, when comes to being taxed.
      You cannot separate lower hrs. to a living hrs., required to get double pay/overtime or something like that to lower amount of work done or you cannot separate raise the federal minimum wage to a living wage. Or
      You can drastically lower taxes non-The Rich-Super Rich Economic Classes/Owners pay & nothing for those poor Economic Class & Raise
      &
      You can drastically raise taxes The Rich-Super Rich Economic Classes/Owners to 90+%.

      I agree with doing all of it & a lot more.
