What a stupid question

why?

 

[S.H.O.D.A.N.]

The current levels are about right.

People who voted "How is the government going to get money if we have zero tax on personal income?" are automatically deemed moronic for lack fo creativity/knowledge.

Given the only other "Yes" option is "Yes, exactly as it is now" though, it's not really their fault.

EDIT: Sorry, there's a "Yes, but should be lower". No options for higher taxes?!? Clearly there's someone lacking creativity/knowledge.

Well there is "Other".
But honestly, if you don't have the brain capacity to realise that income tax is only a part of the revenue spectrum, then your view is null and void.

Not really. The other revenue streams (there's essentially 4 types of tax) couldn't really accomodate for a removal of income tax, so it's not a 'moronic' question at all.

Cheers for expressing your opinion, or lack thereof, in an unnecessarily flagrant way, though. Perhaps instead of accusing others of lacking creativity, you could show off your own 'creativity' and answer the question?

 

[Hagaren]

the taxation rate should be the same from 25k to 125k.

 

[Graney]

Taxation is theft, token libertarian rant etc...

They can if you privatise everything, abolish most public goods and services.

Why?

A little off topic maybe, but not all high income earners pay 45c in the dollar. The marginal rates say they should, but all those top bracket earners ($150k+) I know are smart enough to explore all possible options of [legally] reducing their tax. As they should.

A "flat rate" taxation system is always spruiked by those that don't understand the dynamics of the tax environment.

Who says they couldn't accomodate it? What evidence do you have that an increase in company, consumption or other taxes couldn't cover the shortfall?

To a point. They literally and legally cannot escape all of the extra tax. Effective rate may still be up to $.40 for the extra dollars, which still means that they get charged far more than low-income earners.
