:( My country's taxes keep going up! We've tried to keep spending in line, but the tax rate keeps climbing. Then those dummies in the legislature passed a bill to tax the rich 100%. This promises to be a disaster for our economy.
We are trying to find the balance between needed social, education, and welfare spending. We need a healthy private sector to fund these activities, but punitive tax rates will doom our economy.
We need tax relief now. A healthy tax cut will spur the economy and result in increased government revenue in the long run.
My question to other government leaders is, how can we lower taxes? Would a flat tax help? And if so, what guarentee is there that the tax rate would climb to 100%...like these dummies in my legislature would do?
Help!
