    Ok 👌 I am going to have to read that a few times n go do some arithmetics on that, N I’ll get back to You on that someday.

    I just had a feeling that if tax dollar went to subsidize good living standards for all , whether poor or middle class that it wouldn’t be a big deal if we all paid about roughly the same percent for all to have access to decent wage / life / opportunity at climbing some kind of a ladder of a profession / industry .

    I’ll try and read more about both ideas 💡 of tax n understand it better…

    Sooo; if the government could collect 10 % flat tax from everyone and was able to subsidize housing, education, medicine and healthcare for everyone that needs it… Then I think 🤔 it might work, it’d get rid of tax loopholes and also allow everyone to do their own taxes simply… 10% … Just move a dot one over a number… Everyone could understand that.

    As for the rich and wealthy classes their reward is still income. They just have to pay their “fair” share. And to me the same percentage across the board is equal/fair.

    Maybe 🤔 You can explain it to me better, where I am missing the point ☝️ or where I am wrong on this idea / notion 😔? I am probably missing something.

    Not if the tax dollar goes to help the folks of the country.

    Yes it’s redistribution of wealth but we have redistribution of wealth right now and the money mostly goes back to the wealthy.

    Sooo about 19 top fortune 100 companies in US paid virtually no tax in the last few years. If You can tax ALL companies, people and religions who are making money, You’d have quite a lot of money in the pot.

    The money needs to go to military, I get it; but after that if You prioritize the homeless and the mentally ill, you’d see progress IMHO.

    10% is just an example, maybe it should be more. But when (some) fortune 100 n 500 companies are getting away with paying no tax… I think 10% might work; as long as EVERYONE ( who’s making money) pays. As long as the government takes care of , prioritizes the poor and middle class; things should be alright.
