Liberals,,,, Tax and Spend !!
This policy is about those that are incorporated, but we all know that landscaper who just does work on the side for cash as well.
How exactly would that tax work?
Come to think of it, I guess taxing addictive products and services would more or less look like what you're proposing, no?
Think of those taxes as higher health care premiums for people with risky passtimes. Smokers SHOULD pay more because they're going to cost a lot more .. until they croak, anyway.
That's why I proposed, and I'll quote it again, with emphasis this time:
I would support no business taxes as the default. Then taxes on specific businesses as exceptions:
1. Natural-resource-extraction.
2. Animal-husbandry.
3. Addictive products and services (e.g. tobacco, alcohol, marijuana, lottery tickets, etc.)
Maybe we could make them pay a 1/3 tax on net profits.
What other business should pay any tax and why?
None. They employ us. Why penalize them for that? Talk about throttling the goose that lays them golden eggs.

Whores and bootleggers because they are generally ripping off the customer.
