I’ve always been in favour of tiered consumption taxes. Basic neccessities of life aren’t taxed. Sorta nice stuff gets taxed a bit. Uber lux stuff and harmful stuff gets taxed all the fucking way.
Example: bus pass? Free. Subcompact cheap EV? 20% tax. Lambo? 300% tax.
Rich fuckers have way too many ways of getting out of paying income tax. Tax the stuff instead so that you can’t live like a rich person without paying the kind of taxes rich people should be paying.
Very true. They’ll be standing on the gallows arguing which part of their precious Constitution makes their own execution that is currently happening illegal.
Yes, there is no path to resolve the problem of the USA that does not go through all-out civil war. Half the country is completely convinced of an entirely fictional reality and are more than willing to die and to kill to defend it. They are well past the point that evidence of any kind can affect them.
The day will come when their god-emperor tells them to kill and die, and they will.
Exactly.
