   I reject the idea that income tax is necessary for running an ordered society. It can be done with tariffs, and tariffs are preferable.

     @ILoveAmericaNews Why does the corporation only pay taxes on profits and the individual pays on income? If my labor is of equal value to my wages, which by definition it must be, then the individual makes no profit by working for an income.

     @rjdiasio

     Income = Profit

     They are the exact same thing.

     I disagree. The corporation gets to deduct the cost of inputs including my labor to arrive at a profit.

     When you exchange things of equal value there is no profit. My labor being equal to the dollar amount paid is not profit. Profit is selling something over the value of its inputs.

     Your position assumes that my labor has no value as an input therefore my wage is 100% pure profit.

     Total bullshit.

     All corporate taxes are double taxation.

     I thought that your original post was on point, started a thoughtful discussion thread and now see my error…I clearly made a mistake.
     Please accept my apology for wasting everyone’s time.

     Taxation = obedience

     Events of past 15 years have eroded tax payer's trust of the important pillars of obedience like: media, politicans, law enforcement, bureaCats, military, Tech Industry, Pharma Industry, Doctors, Academia Middle Management in all industries. A natural consequence of that weaker base of obedience can become less taxation. IF somebody makes an organized effort
