Loading ...Roger that. Imo the gov’t picks the winners and the losers. The losers being manufacturing businesses and their employees. The “losers” should be income and profit tax exempt. Simple.
He or they who benefits the MOST from gov’t, should be a 90% tax bracket. The people who get nothing or no benefit should be in a 5% tax bracket. Lets face it. The people getting PAID by gov’t are simply NOT paying taxes, because their entire profit or pay check CAME from the gov’t.
Anything they “pay” is really just a kick back. Plus, their pay and benefits or profits (civil service and defense plants for ex) are so good, even after the “kick back” tax, the net income or profit in STILL very respectful. We have cops in my village getting around $200k/yr.
I also think the very unpleasant, difficult, disgusting, out door jobs in heat or freezing temps and or dangerous jobs should have a lower income tax. ( pumping out cesspools, linemen, miners, commercial fishermen machinery operators etc)
All the “teat jobs” should be in a higher tax bracket. (like indoor librarian, pencil pusher office workers, retail employees, and naturally ALL elected officials have teat jobs.
