In return for paying nothing.
That's an interesting idea, even if you did away with the income tax you could issue tax exemption cards to anyone who gives up their right to vote to exempt them from sales taxes etc.
I have to think about it before endorsing it but it is intriguing.

DMU is another way of saying that a dollar means more to a poor person than to a rich person because the rich person has more dollars, right? Therefore it's ok to take money from the rich guy because he won't notice it as much. Which taken to it's logical conclusion means a "DMU fair tax" is one where both parties are left with equal amounts after being taxed. Which is more or less the definition of communism.
I'll concede that there's no such thing as the "perfect tax". What does that even mean? But a flat rate tax is orders of magnitude more moral than any sort of progressive tax. A progressive tax punishes good behavior, rewards bad behavior, has no natural upper limit(100%?), is subjective (gives politicians more power) and can put an excessive burden on a minority of the population (actually a form of slavery).
I'd to hear your answer to the question about whether you're ever criticized Trump for his import tax.
Right

No, the argument is that equal amounts should be taken from all parties, not that all parties should be left with equal amounts.Which taken to it's logical conclusion means a "DMU fair tax" is one where both parties are left with equal amounts after being taxed. Which is more or less the definition of communism.
I don't endorse this argument, mind you.
To me, it means whichever one will require the least aggression.I'll concede that there's no such thing as the "perfect tax". What does that even mean?
There are some problems with that characterization, but I'm not advocating progressive income taxes, so I won't argue.A progressive tax punishes good behavior, rewards bad behavior, has no natural upper limit(100%?), is subjective (gives politicians more power) and can put an excessive burden on a minority of the population (actually a form of slavery).
Only constantly since the day he proposed themI'd to hear your answer to the question about whether you're ever criticized Trump for his import tax.

Needless to say that I oppose all taxation which is theft. Short of private ownership, if there is to be a tax at all, all types and forms of taxation should be completely eliminated, and then utilize a Consumption tax.
