It's not like taxes go into a black whole. They pay for schools, roads, police, military protection, and a host of other services. We can certainly debate the relative allocation of funds, but going tax free isn't something most large nations can do. The nations that are tax free tend to be extremely wealthy on oil money (Bahrain) OR borderline anarchy (Somalia).
- germandiago 5y agoYes I have been actively looking for reasonable countries. Not because I think I cannot pay but because I am convinced we should NOT unless we authorize someone to do it. Of course you would lose the services you do not pay for. I do not need 0% taxes. But you know what? I do not need 54% income tax + 21% VAT plus many others that amount to 70% of my earnings and they laugh at us in our faces. I really do not need that. Here I talk about Spain. Let us leave USA apart bc I do not know enough. Just know that they are sailing in the same direction so if I were you guys, I would be a bit careful. In the real world I do not need a 0% taxes country either. Of course. Greetings and thanks for the suggestion.
- alistairSH 5y agoWhere are you that you pay 54% income tax and then 21% VAT? I assumed you were in the US, since US tax breaks were the topic.
- germandiago 5y agoI am spanish (54% over 60,000 euros in my "State"). But I see the US going in the same stupid direction of taxing and overregulation and it catches my eye. Seriously, do not break it. I admire the founders of USA more than any other people worldwide. The ideas of real freedom were born there, even if there are, like everywhere else, dark episodes.
