Sales taxes are regressive and nonsensical, why punish people because they contribute to the economy by buying stuff? Just do income tax.

- nothrabannosir 9mo agoI don't disagree with the first part, but income tax falls into the exact same logic of "why punish people because they contribute to the economy by [working]?"
- QuiDortDine 9mo agoWell, we do need taxes. Land taxes are fine too I guess, but I doubt they'll catch on in North America (too many politicians own real estate).
- Saline9515 9mo agoYou don't contribute by buying stuff but by producing it. And the regressive effect can be reduced by having different rates depending on the type of product.
