No its worse than that everyone should have to pay taxes quarterly instead of every paycheck because the amount one would pay every quarter is eye opening.
Having it come straight out of every pay check lulls one to sleep about it.
Having to come up with $5k - 100k a quarter would incentivize the normies to pay more attention to spending..…

We all know the really rich hide their money and the Democrats simply don't work.
A flat tax. That's where we should be. A flat 5% on all income. Period. The wealthy will pay more because 5% of a $billion is a lot more than 5% of $100,000.00. The poor would pay their share just as the wealthy. Tax returns could be done with a post card.
Will NEVER HAPPEN! The current tax system favors the wealthy elite and massive corporations.
VAT taxes are used in Europe, as things are built up, each stage is taxed per the value added. End item VAT taxes are sales taxes where the item is taxed at full value.
Your description of the flat tax is right on.
Post card. Sales minus cost of production = income.
Multiple by .05, send it in.
A good question, why do military types pay taxes? Also, if you have paid taxes for social security throughout your life, why do you have to pay again after retirement?
Good point, Ben. Ever think about Social Security contributions - annually instead of weekly? Never happen, Social Security payments to current recipients would collapse within a week. What people contribute every Friday, gets paid out that month - there is no Social Security "Trust Fund".

Ben, what would happen if taxation was based on consumption instead of income? A VAT tax? Or in addition a flat tax?
How do you calculate consumption?

No taxes on income, period. All the games come from that.
Trump has declared that a goal.
We have that in California on top of "regular" tax burdens.
There is never enough money no matter how much is taxed.
One fair tax is on gasoline to finance the road infrastructure. If it just wasn’t being used to support illegals.
