RE: Is There A Point To Company Tax?
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.
