It is impossible to create an income tax that is both equal and fair. VAT is the only tax that is both. Even with a VAT there would have to be a way to ensure that the really poor are not overburdened.
Don't know if there's much sense in me trying to say you are/could be wrong to a "tax slave".You probably know a bit more than us average"tax slaves".
I gotta go google stuff to even try to understand (but at least you know i'm listening).
This stuff makes me feel like a monkey pounding on a typewriter with a rock.Apparently our GST is some kind of vat tax.
According to the case Federation of Technological Industries v Customs and Excise Commissioners [2004] EWCA Civ 1020 in 2002-03 the estimated cumulative cost of such frauds to the UK alone was between £1.65 and £2.64 billion (US$2.9 to $4.62).
According to the BBC, "So-called 'missing trader' or 'carousel' fraud is estimated to cost European governments up to £170bn a year - twice the European Union's annual budget."[6]
The fraud has evolved and now can incorporate all high value goods such as designer goods, health products, jewellery etc.A VAT, like most taxes, distorts what would have happened without it. Because the price for someone rises, the quantity of goods traded decreases. Correspondingly, some people are worse off by more than the government is made better off by tax income. That is, more is lost due to supply and demand shifts than is gained in tax. This is known as a deadweight loss. If the income lost by the economy is greater than the government's income; the tax is inefficient. It must be noted that a VAT and a Non-VAT has the same implications on the microeconomic model.
There we go-no wonder you can't get even two economists to agree.Thought strikes me is that nobody knows even govt-so they can keep srewing us lol
Nature provides a basic means, for those who are willing to make an effort, who go out searching to provide for themselves.
Oh wait !!!! That requires effort and intelligence.
Wild animals are smarter then you goreObsessed
Pardon me for interrupting while you feast on his carcass but i am not sure of your mind set.It all seems kinda new agey-natural world to me.(except reaming gore-which he may deserve-)
This is my way of explaining that might resonate with you.
Humans shape the natural world.Once there were millions of buffalo freely roaming-taking care of themselves and prospering.
Native people got everything they needed from them and both prospered. Whites wanted to steal land so got buffalo hunters to kill them close to extinction(*most meat was wasted)
Starving natives was the only/easiest way to destroy stubborn natives(50 caliber Henry rifles-hi-tech new progress) as infecting them with smallpox was at best(pardon the pun-a spotty way of killing).
After that we brought in cattle that today still can't handle our winters,can't find food -so have to be fed-branded as to who owned them(range wars-hanging-fences,private property concepts (lawyers gotta eat along with the real vultures)etc -helped with calving-you get the idea...
Upside was -for all of our hard work-man has turned what was free and healthy into a thriving beef industry-beef can even be sold to remaining Natives,other folk for about $9.00 a pound(watch out for mad cow disease).
So the reason we have to band together is so we can keep an uneasy eye on the new "smart ideas" we come up with.We need a basic income cause like those commercials- we-just like poor in Middle East get kinda ISIS-ey when hungry-Marsha Marsha Marsha-it is never about us.That is why we need a guaranteed annual income!
P S You think this is convoluted -try watching Cliff Claven use buffalo to explain why beer makes us smarter...
