Exactly what percentage of someone's monthly salary do you think is acceptable for the government to steal?
Depends what you get in return, that question is too simplistic.
No it isn't.
The correct answer is ZERO. Other people have ZERO fucking rights to your property, your labour or the fruits thereof.
To say the state has the right to your money is to say the state has the right to your labour, to say the state has the right to your labour is to say that you are a SLAVE of the state.
This isn't simplistic, its basic logic.
Maybe my assumption is wrong on what you meant, but it seems you believe that nobody should pay tax. How do you propose to pay for all the services?
The magical money tree you derided earlier?
Absolutely not. Indebting our children's children is one of the most cancerous acts of our society. The national debt is a disgrace, we have no great wars to pay for. Just a great desire for 'other people' to pay for our needs. And those other people will end up being our children and their children and in my view that makes us collectively parasitic cunts.
We've been brainwashed by the left to believe we have a RIGHT to service, a RIGHT to housing, a RIGHT to healthcare and the fact of the matter is these things are privileges not rights.
I wouldn't support a zero tax policy because that's way too radical, but a flat rate of 10% for individuals and corporations shouldn't be that difficult to implement.
I don't imagine everyone, at least the right minded (who may be a minority) believe they have a right to service. But I would imagine most would accept they need services, and as such have to pay for them. Maybe there are more economical or efficient ways of sourcing services, but convenience probably trumps cost saving for most. That was my point, anybody interested should look at the services they receive and then decide if they think their monthly deductions are acceptable.
If you're talking about inheritance tax, capital gains etc. then I agree, there should be no extra tax on something that is already taxed in many other formats during the earning.
