Several Republican leaders have trotted the idea of a flat tax, which means a fixed percentage of income tax at all. And in their hearts they may seek to Maggie Thatcher’s poll tax to emulate – a single amount paid by each muss.Ist not that fair? Should not everyone the same amount? In a word – no. It is not fair, it is terribly unfair. Why? The rich should pay more taxes because the rich erhalten.Betrachten more from the government for about the defense, which accounts for up to 20% of the budget. Defense of the country will benefit everyone, but it benefits the rich more because they have to defend more. It’s the same principle as insurance: If you’re a bigger house or a fancy car, you pay them versichern.Sozialversicherungsleistungen to make up another 20% of the budget are dependent on income – if you have more put into the system, get It sets higher payments when you retire gehen.Investitionen in the country’s infrastructure – transport, education, research and development, energy, police subsidies, the courts, etc. – are again more useful, the more you have. The highways and airports benefit interstate commerce and people can travel, not ghetto dwellers. Energy is disproportionately by the rich and by industry verwendet.Da to public education, better public schools, those where the reasonably well off. The well-off ship their children to private schools, but it’s their business, benefit from a well-educated public. (If you is not think this is an advantage to go start an engineering firm, or even a factory in El Salvador. Or watts.) The FDIC and the S & L bailout appears to benefit most investors and large depositors. A nice example: a smooth operator bought a failing S & L for $ 350,000,000, then get $ 2,000,000,000 to help from the government, it again auferstehen.Beyond all this, the federal top-heavy with corporate welfare. Counting tax breaks and spending, corporations and the rich taste of up to 400 billion U.S. dollars a year – that the budget of $ 1,400, or 116 billion U.S. dollars spent on programs for the poor is vergleichen.Wo all the money? There are direct subsidies for agribusiness (18000000000 $ per year) to export companies, maritime shippers and various industries – airlines, nuclear power companies, timber companies, mining companies, car manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies. There are billions of dollars in military waste and fraud. And there are untold billions in tax credits, deductions, and loopholes. Accelerated depreciation alone, for example, at the expense of the Treasury 37000000000 $ per year – billions more than the mortgage interest deduction. (What are the benefits to the people with the largest mortgages. But we should promote home ownership, should not we? Now Canada has no interest deduction, but has about the same rate of home ownership.) How about social spending? Well, quite apart from the purely religious view that the richest nation in the world can afford it, lob a few pennies in the hungry, I would argue that social spending – the “New Deal” – is it always this capitalistic country is . As tempting as it take for the rich, for the full richness of a country is, it’s really not wise to leave the poor without participation in the system, and agitate every reason for the imposition of a new system of their own. Think of social spending as an insurance against violent revolution – and again, like any insurance, it is most beneficial for those with the greatest Boodle. (See also my page on whether or not any good welfare). Who gets to sit at the wheel? Come election season, will be Steve Forbes, among other millionaires are pushing plans for a flat tax. These proposals have absorbed with a truckload of salt werden.Ein plan where each cutting taxes is of course a tax cut. Here again the question, as voters and citizens wonder what the government cut services you want? Somehow I do not think that suggests Steve, the culture of the welfare or defense slash. It is rather a way to try to cut social spending by the back door. People like to hear about tax cuts, they do not like to hear about service cuts, though it is financially equivalent sind.Eine revenue-neutral plan does not change regardless of total revenue – it will only pass. Here you have to ask who gets shafted? You can not just make the poor pay more taxes – they do not have the money. This leaves only one way to flatten the tax rates – that is, the rich pay lower taxes: soak the middle class. If the tax rates to fall to the rich, and we are not cut overall taxes, the middle cNetter experiment, Steel Magnolia, but that the rich pay more of what McCain said in the videos, I gebucht.Sunny So Cal – you’re the kind of the user, which brings to Yahoo Answers.
