Absolutely not.
Not only is this massively regressive, it ignores how much of our public infrastructure is built to support the economy. This proposal would effectively allow shareholders to turn infrastructure tax dollars into shareholder money without having to kick a single dime into the bucket. That’s absolutely nuts.
- rcpt 5y agoThe conversion into shareholder money is where the tax happens. The idea is that if you want to tax rich people do it directly. Don't make it complicated.
- Aerroon 5y agoThe economy is part of the infrastructure. That's why governments go to extreme lengths during economic problems. If the only store in the village shuts down it sucks for the store owner, but it sucks even more for the villagers who now have no access to the goods.
