A fair tax rate
|
Part of the difficulty with getting the rich to pay their fair share is that they are often compensated in ways that don’t qualify as ‘income’. A ‘wealth tax’ wouldn’t be the worst idea.

Nobody cares Helen.
As a poor person with an income, I'd rather be a wealthy person with no income.

If simpler tax filing is what turns you on (it sure does me), then there's been a proposal out there for years now that is being blocked by (you can probably guess). Let the IRS calculate your tax return for free. Yes, I know, that sounds like giving the keys to the safe to the criminal. But it wouldn't be binding. You can do your own tax return and compare and challenge what the IRS claims you owe and you would always be given the full paperwork to take it to a CPA if you like. This option is already being used in many civilized countries and people love it. I believe the Ausies are doing this. @BrianSoddingBoru4, can you confirm? It's a great idea. I shouldn't have to pay a for profit to get my full return from the government.

Think about this - If a wealth tax was a one time deal - that would be fine. But to tax a person' s wealth EVERY YEAR? How would you like to be taxed on your income every year for every year you had income? It' s the same thing - compounding tax upon tax.... Doesn' t sound fair to me.
Wealthy people have lots of ways to make money. They have no excuse not to pay
