One or two people won't make a difference. The entire policy of taxation in the US needs to change.
That's why we have government because otherwise we can't have nice things (note: in many cases that even doesn't work either but that's the imperfect system we have and need to improve - the alternatives like "self regulation" have been proven throughout history to not be scalable).
- tathougies 7y ago> the alternatives like "self regulation" have been proven throughout history to not be scalable On the contrary, self-regulation is now the preferred form of government. It used to be the case that most governments were led by an entity outside the government and outside the purview of the state and society (a monarch). Today most countries are democracies, which means self-regulation of the society by the people that constitute that society, typically via some kind of elected leadership positions (but not always). Self-regulating markets have also proven to be the most straightforward way to feed and house and provide a middle-class life for most people. Certainly superior to the more planned economies that preceded it.
