All taxes are but we need a bare minimum. Sales taxes are the fairest of taxes and tariffs are needed to protect the working class, unless you want to be paid peanuts and all production is offshored.
Income tax is not theft if the tax dollars are being used properly. Obviously if income tax is going to welfare for single moms, then that is theft. Because the more money people make, the more they benefit from soyciety. So they should pay more. The more you get out of soyciety, the more you should put back in. This is literally how to not be a fucking parasite 101. Making working class people provide most of the funding is the most parasitic system possible.
All taxes are used incorrectly because it's not the person who earns the resource who spends it. Thus by the nature of reality it will never be used properly only "somewhat" properly.
And they will pay more at the exact same rate as everyone else if they consume more.
It's not like people can just consume less to avoid paying sales tax if there is sales tax and tariffs that affect literally everything like basic necessities. That is only the case when it comes to taxes on luxury goods or shit like cigarettes.
Yes, exactly so everyone pays the exact same in taxes no matter who they are which is fair and then if the people who "earn more" decide to spend more of what they earn instead of the bare minimum thus they are no longer saving that excess income (which when saved is reinvesting in the capital of the country which is used to generate income including your own), then they too will pay more in taxes but these rich people only spend more when they consume more which is how they derive benefit from the society. If a person earns $100k/yr and only spends $50k/yr he is deriving the exact same benefit as a person who earns $50k/yr then spends $50k/yr. A rich person only derives benefit from his wealth when he spends it and that is when he will be taxed at the same rate as everyone else. If he spends $100k instead of $50k then he pays twice the taxes as someone who earns $50k. That's called being fair.
