    Income tax is work tax. You are paying 30% of your labor every month. Don’t you get it? When you tax wealth and not work, a person with a billion dollars, gets taxed 20 million dollars a year, while a person with no wealth and gets 3K dollars a month, doesn’t pay taxes, because he is poor af.
    Currently, Billion dollar guy pays nearly nothing even though this won’t effect his life much, while the worker pays 1K a month even though he needs it to live.











  • Yes I agree. It wouldnt be problem-free. What I mean is, you can pay the debt, if your debt was in another currency, you might be in a position that you just cant pay the debt.
    Firstly the debt is for a long time. The debt until the next year is 10 trillion. You can pay this debt with wealth taxes if you dont want to print more money. Secondly, USA has to produce. It stopped producing good tech, China nowadays owns every tech production. If it earns money, it can pay this debt.
    Thirdly, most of the debt is domestic and to the rich. You can just stop paying this. You are the government dude, you are taxing people’s labor, you are taxing every transaction, most countries have stamp tax that doesnt even exist, you can oc tax this money too, and sometimes governments do this.
    We have to tax the rich, even if we paid all the debt, we still have to tax the rich. This is required for justice, this is required for people to love their country, this is required to stop poverty, homelessness. When we have a just society people are going to help their country willingly. But currently, some people are killing others, raping bribing, doing anything and we can do nothing about it, while being hungry.
