Comment on Here are the massive tax increases coming your way in a second Biden term
uzi@lemmy.ca 8 months agoThe more the wealthy are taxed, the more that working people are garaunteed to forever stay poor. What would make it fair is eliminate the payroll tax, eliminate corporate tax because corporations only exist on paper, they do not use any resources, the people do. Also, eliminate the income tax, and cut government funding, cut government programs, cut government spending. Then replace it with either a single universale flat tax so everybody can do their taxes on a single page, or a consumption tax, but never both taxes.

The more the working people are taxes, the more the working people are guaranteed to forever stay poor as well.
Your idea for cutting government funding, programs and government spending basically renders the government more useless than it already is.
Rather than continuing to cut more and more from the patient until nothing is left and they die, we should be scrutinizing the doctors (government officials) more about the choices they make behind closed doors.
Repealing citizens united would be a start. We can’t get anywhere without preventing government officials from being bought by megacorps. Let’s start there.

No.
A government so small that it can be drowned in a bathtub is a free citizenry.

No, it’s a dead and incapable government.
Might as well be for all-out anarchy.
If you want to root our government corruption you go after the officials’ money, not the government’s.

I am 100% against everything you said. Government itself is the problem. I would argue that government is the greatest evil in society. I’m fully against you on all of it.
