A flat tax you only start paying above a certain threshold then? For sake of argument everything under 20k is tax free, you pay flat tax on everything above? Problem solved?
- msla 9y agoA lot of people would consider that flatly immoral, and as evidence that the poor aren't paying their fair share. Remember that Flat Tax is also called Fair Tax. The concept of fairness is central.
- dageshi 9y agoIf everyone receives the same tax free allowance then it certainly is fair. Fairer and simpler.
- turc1656 9y agoI think what msla is saying is that people who are at or below the threshold for taxation would contribute nothing to taxes, which would be unfair in theory because they consume public goods and services like the rest of us.
