@leftout @alex Hmm. In my ideal government financial structure, the government would no longer print money, and the only tax would be a flat sales tax on either everyone, or only the middle 80% (this would be to enable greater social mobility of the lowest classes, and incentivize those in the middle class to strive to make more, and thus be free of taxes). I believe all taxes should go to the government, but also that they should be the only way a government makes money.
Assuming though, that we make only this change...I'm just not sure where the money will come from *proportionally*. Are you advocating for a #RobinHood tax on just rich people? Well that's not fair. If you were to apply a new tax on everyone though, many people might not like that.
I also generally don't like the idea that we should take money from the rich and give it to the poor, that concept is usually dominated by nothing but envy anyways. It's probably best to grow up and foster an economy where the middle and lower classes can more easily make more money, rather than punishing the successful people for being too successful.
