A tax that will be passed on to the consumer which will disproportionately affect the poor? It won't be people in Switzerland or Silicon Valley that will be materially affected by such a scheme.
Taxes are not the solution to every problem.
- d_e_solomon 10y agoTaxes can be structured to not impact the poor and/or additional aid can be structured to offset the impact - much like income tax, or luxury tax, or inheritance tax.
