What is wrong with using Income to Tax?
What is wrong with using Income to Tax?
There are a number of things wrong.
1. It is unfair with the marginal tax rates. What happened to equality? Why can't we just tax everyone at the same rate. This should be a violation of the 14th amendment, but I guess that it is only used to change social issues.
2. The Internal Revenue Code is only useful to the rich. And it counteracts the higher marginal tax rate.
3. It has changed every year since it was created and that was over one hundred ago. People need stability.
4. It creates involuntary servitude in having to keep all your records for taxes.
5. It is the reason for uneq wealth.
