RE: Is There A Point To Company Tax?
For sure.
My husband was explaining to my brother who has Asperger's that if he did not ahve to pay so many taxes, he would have extra funds to give to my bro. My bro cannot work right now, Autistic + burnout, way worse burnout than me. He is on wellfare. If he manages to be better and can work for a few months like a small contract, or one day per week, he loses that wellfare benefit. But he cannot work a lot if he can, and he would liek to try working, then stop if it's too much, but because if he does that, the wellfare would not start up again, he is not incentivised by the government to ever TRY to be able to get well enough to work, for the fear of not succeeding ENOUGH. BUT if we didn't pay taxes or not as many, my husband would be able to help my bro get by, voluntarily, and when my bro can work, the extra funds stop, and when he has to stop working again and take a good long break for his health, funds return. This would then incentivise him to at least try, give it an honest shot, then if he needs to stop, it's ok, and then later try again. The socialist system does not encourage people to be autonomous.
I call situations like that the fast food restuarant ayndrome! Its like going into a fast food restuarant and asking them for a burger but no tomato and youll pay the same anount! The system is so rigid that theyll tell you they cant youll just need to take it as is and remove the tomato yourself! Well not sure if they like that on your side of the world but here its prett much like that!
Its not that what you’re asking is impractical and cannot be done or really affects the system in any way that your brother should have to choose between work and a safety net but adminstration of any government program is single minded and rhey are so far remoced from the reality of things
I do agree that these safety nets reduce the troughs but they also reduce the peaks! I believe that their are more honest hard working people who would have capacity for private charity if they got more money for their labour and needed less work hours to earn a living wage
Maybe I live in a fantasy land! Lol
I don't think it's unrealistic to think that there can be a system where wages are balanced out with capacity and all that. The constant printing of money causes inflation, because there is no longer any gold per dollar printed equilibrium, so the dollar is devaluating. So they tax more. If there were less taxes, less needless printing of money, there would be less of a need for higher wages. Right now it's an all or nothing system, with no in-betweens. We need more in-betweens.
