Why do socialists like income taxes?

[grbb]

Socialists say they protect workers from capital “owners”.

However, they demand income taxes. Income taxes hurt workers the most.

Land owners pay land taxes. Shareholders pay capital gain taxes (which they can keep postponing). Startup founders pay at most, renunciation tax when they change citizenship. Consumers pay sales taxes.

Even self-employed people, the closest to normal workers, pay profit taxes instead of income taxes.

Who pays income taxes? Workers. Yet that’s exactly what socialists ask for. Why?

And that’s not all. Income taxes are more easily avoidable on other classes of people.

Apple don’t pay income taxes. Apple and Microsoft in US is a subsidiary of an Ireland holding companies.

A businessman can simply avoid income taxes by moving his factory to China.

A shareholders can avoid income taxes by postponing selling shares. He can also balance his losing and gaining trade to ensure he makes 0 profit on the book. He can also sell a share and buy a share of another company in a different industry to realize losses.

Those are things normal workers cannot do and guess what socialists want? Income taxes.

If we want to help workers, we need to replace income taxes with sales taxes, land taxes, assets taxes, and protection taxes. Let those enjoying the benefit of a government protection pays for it.

 

[Mac1958]

The GOP keeps bitching about taxes, while spending keeps increasing.

This, after they've had control of the White House, House and Senate.

Tell ya what: Here's what the GOP can do instead of bitching:

From now on, you can only cut income taxes AFTER you cut spending. So your candidates can run on cutting Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and any number of other government services. Let's see how many of them get elected.

THEN you can cut taxes. THEN you can be the party of fiscal responsibility, as claimed for so long.

I now feel the glee of a socialist thinking of those assets taxes the super rich would have to annually pay on their wealth.

Why do socialists like income taxes?

Because it fools their useful idiot followers into becoming defacto chattel property of The State.

Under income taxation, it is presumed that all you work for belongs to The State first...Then they decide how much is theirs, and how much they in their magnanimity will allow you to keep.

Well, we were doing better when the top tax rate was 75%

Tax land. After all land owners benefit most from the protection of their fellow citizens. Taxing land will also improve societies' land efficiency used. Those with empty land will be forced to sell it.

It's not socialism it's fairness. Income taxes are progressive, as opposed to regressive, taxes. The more you earn the more you pay. Sales taxes, like gasoline taxes, are regressive so the poor pay a much higher percentage of their income to drive.

I have no idea what assets taxes and protection taxes are?

 

[Staidhup]

Why do they like taxes you ask, because someone else has to pay for their feel good crap.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

If it were up to socialists taxes would be 100%. You would be provided housing, food, uniforms, whatever you need.

Land owners pay land taxes. Shareholders pay

Socialists (and others) also believe those "earning" the most income are not currently paying their fair share of "income" taxes:

The moral—and economic—case for progressive taxation

"If you want to run for Congress, the implication is clear: Cut taxes on all but the top 1%, raise them enormously on the top 0.1%, 0.01%, and 0.001%, and leave the 1% the same.

"People will feel that you’ve made the taxes more fair, and you’ve also raised more revenue. In other words, make the tax system more progressive."

 

[HenryBHough]

Taxes really don't matter much to liberals.

To them it's ownership of printing presses that makes all the difference.

 

[Oddball]

They are 100%...You're just allowed by your betters to keep what they don't take...But make no mistake, they are the ones claiming control over your income.

The moral case for looting....Only from the Marxist progs.
