There’s at least one perspective where this makes sense:
Everyone expects a discount on goods and services when purchased in bulk.
Why should tax be abt different?
- Jweb_Guru 7y agoPaying taxes is not "buying the government" and paying higher taxes is not buying "more" of it, or buying it in bulk. For starters: bulk rates are lower, in part, as an incentive to get people to buy more of a product at once. Since paying taxes is (ostensibly) mandatory, this doesn't apply.
- TheSpiceIsLife 7y agoOstensibly being the key word here as there appears to be some scenarios where none of those things are true.
