{"text":"Think what it would be like to live in a society where there are very few taxes...no income tax, no social security tax, etc. what if you could only pay sales tax and you got to keep your whole income. What if lawyers were on a regular pay schedule like every other person and they could not benefit from their client’s settlement money. What if politicians would not be able to make enough money to live on and therefore they would be forced to do business under their own legislation. What do y’all think our net worth would look like?  Small business would be celebrated instead of being squeezed out by the Walmarts of the world. The only limitation would be that there would be a cap on the size that a business could grow to based on the number of people that business would employ. For example a business owner could only make a certain percentage off of each employee. This would guarantee job creation and scheduled raises since the more profitable an employee is, the more the employer would pay him in order to increase the yield of each employee for the employer. Additional jobs would also generate more availability of income for said employer. ","videos":"[]","link":"{}","pics":"[]","canComment":true,"externalShare":false}

If you learned history you would see that politicians are greedy, wasteful, and have no interest in the public good, as long as they can pad their bank accounts. ","replyToPid":426194}

","text":"Everyone hates politicians, but who’s funding them? The top 1% controls them. They’re the real players. Politicians are just tools for the very, very rich. Can we really blame politicians when the top 1% is willing to pay them tremendously?","replyToPid":426198}

If you look at all countries worldwide, it is the countries with high taxes where most of the citizens are living a decent life. Taxes are in a way necessary for building a strong country. Now, how much is it too much taxes is debatable. ","replyToPid":0}
