Convince the loophole abusers to support a new tax system that incentivizes what needs to be incentivized, and funds what we as a society decide needs to be funded. The hard part is finding that tax system. I think the needed change is possible, but I think it'll require things getting so bad that even the worst of abusers are convinced that there's a problem.
- wunderfool 15y agoi'm interested in knowing how you would "incent" corporations to voluntarily pay some taxes if they pay none at all and the US has somewhere around forty-seventy TRILLION dollars in unfunded liabilities, so i'm also interested to know how "bad" things should get before its fixed? and don't respond with some moronic plea for me to cite the unfunded liability number, google is your friend
- anamax 15y ago> Convince the loophole abusers to support a new tax system that incentivizes what needs to be incentivized, Every "loophole abuser" believes that her incentive is something that should be incentivized. The only way to stop the gaming of tax incentives is to eliminate all tax incentives.
- cheez 15y agoBy definition, the worst of the abusers will benefit the most so why would they ever see anything wrong?
