You're wrong. Lowering income taxes actually increases work output not decrease.

Lowering income taxes has a net positive impact on the economy and the quality of life of everyone. The actual impacts as to what would happen are complex but essentially:

  • Your before tax income would lower but after tax income relative to prices of products/services would increase.
  • Prices of products/services would go down
  • People would work more NOT less because they aren't penalized by progressive income taxes AND because to finance 0 income taxes you must abolish social programs. Social programs lead to a reduction in work (just like progressive income taxes). Lastly, it makes businesses more able to afford labor because they can now pay their employees less because the after-tax income of these employees will be higher given that they aren't taxed. Because the business are saving labor income it leads to business growth which puts a demand on labor thus increasing the real wages of labor which increases the total amount that people work since the incentive is now higher.

Lowering income taxes INCREASES work, it doesn't decrease it. This should be intuitive. You're basically saying if we wanted to increase AI use in companies we should tax companies for using AI. Doesn't make ANY sense. The reason many people seem to stop working at a certain income level now is because of how taxes work. For example if you worked a job paying $100k/yr and wanted to work part-time as a Uber driver, you wouldn't. Why wouldn't you? Because the income you earn is now taxed at 50% because of your tax bracket whereas the Indians/Muslims Uber drivers who only do that as their only job earn 100% of their income therefore the pay Uber pays people is based on this 0% income taxes they pay. For them, what they earn is enough to be worth the time, gas and car payments/maintenance but for you, it wouldn't be. Without income tax it would lead to higher after-tax income related to prices of products/services for people earning $100k/yr to work as an uber driver to make more money so you'd get more people doing this.

People right now are discouraged from working more because of social programs and progressive income tax. Eliminate both and you'll increase work not decrease it.

Your thought process is so twisted. It's basically saying the USSR was right and communism leads to more people working except it does the exact opposite. All evidence shows that social programs and progressive taxes (more taxes in general) lead to less work not more. Of course, I am talking about valuable work though. At 100% taxes you can force everyone to dig ditches and then have 100% work but that's useless. Only productive work matters and most work today is unproductive.

The reason they don't lower income taxes is because the government wants full control over how your money is spent.
