Bullshit. There are many ways such a thing could be funded without being on the backs of individual taxpayers.
- germinator 2y agoI'm guessing you're talking about taxing businesses or products / services instead. That strikes me as a weird argument. Ultimately, all taxes are taxes on the labor of individual humans. "Corporate money" mostly isn't: if you tax it, you either pay as an employee or as a consumer. There are some populist arguments about executive compensation, but if nothing else, executives are still "individual taxpayers", right?
- phone8675309 2y agoBusinesses have to pay for a lot of things that consumers don't - business licenses, permits, etc. Any of those things can be a source of revenue to make up the shortfall. By that logic should corporations get a tax break because a corporation isn't going to be using the public library given that it's a legal fiction? Come on.
