So, I work hard, my ass off, 5 days a week, 11 months a year, and I pay 1/3 or 1/4th of it so that pidophiles dont pay taxes.
Income tax, VAT, property selling tax are all theft. There is no logic behind it.
The taxes that should exist is: Wealth tax, nature tax for the businesses that damage nature, and that is it. And no tax should be over 5%.
Wealth tax: 0%, income tax: 30% this is unacceptable. You either pay no taxes or you pay everything as tax.

I actually calculated it, and yearly 2.5% of wealth tax should be enough. And also, countries have a lot of resources, that also can help their budget, like mines or rented lands that are owned by government etc.

If we taxed wealth, not work, we could buy our houses way easier, we could buy land way easier, we could find a job way easier because we are not gonna pay income and vat, businesses will be able to hire people freely, and everybody can own a business easily. Nowadays, if you are poor it is so hard to create a business. You have a lot of expenses.

      But most land owners already pay land taxes every year. And the amount of tax you pay depends upon the value of the land. 20 years ago I bought a little house way out in the fucking middle of nowhere, cuz that’s all I could afford. Now, the area around me has suddenly become a hotspot for development and I am paying 4x what I was originally paying.
      The real problem, as others have stated, is the loopholes that give companies special rights and privileges.
