There’s always gonna be these people knowingly breaking the law if they can easily afford the fines. Do you think she would keep driving without her seat belt and smoking wherever she pleases if she was fined say 10% of her yearly income every time she was caught?
Honestly the only reason I’m against income tax is because we tried that in Vermont and because it also applied to poor people rich people moved and poor people had a harder time becoming middle class
That completely makes sense. Washington state has an interesting capital gains tax. You don’t get taxed at a state level unless you make more than 250,000 in a year. I think it’s a great way to only target the rich while allowing the poor and middle class to make some money untaxed at a state level.
That’s a pretty good idea but just as corporations have been screwing with Rossmans right to repair bills I find it unrealistic to assume the rich will do the same with income tax bills.
