So the amount increased 10x , what does that have to do with getting 10x your money back?
Or are you saying that since it's 10x more there should be 10x greater quality?
Ok... the interstate system, the military, etc
- s1artibartfast 2y agoyes, I would expect the quality or quantity to be vastly greater. Ultimately, 10x the utility in one form or another. I dont think the changes in military or interstate justify a 1,000% higher taxes on an ongoing basis. with respect to 40+%, property tax would be an easy way to eat up an arbitrarily large portion of income. Similarly, fixed fees and fines can eat up a lot for low earners.
- Braxton1980 2y agoproperty tax is not 40%. The highest seems to be 20% but that's based on income as well. 10% or lower is more common > I dont think the changes in military or interstate justify a 1,000% higher taxes on an ongoing basis. It's not 1000% higher.
