| Message | Sales tax and income tax also exist. The current tax structure punishes the entities most responsible for the economic well being of the nation. Under the current formulation, most people pay almost nothing, with taxes on so-called "luxury" goods and corporations providing the bulk of governmental revenue. Corporations, the greatest creators of wealth, after providing the nation with a strong economy, with products and services, are then forced to bear, almost by themselves, the burden of government. What the corporations do not pay directly is extracted from those with the funds to purchase luxury goods: also known as the individuals with enough wealth to invest in business and so advance the country. The current system is a perverse distortion, with those who benefit the most from the existence of government contributing next to nothing, and those who have little need of government "service" being extorted. Such policies are more likely to encourage leeches to immigrate, degenerate souls who wish nothing more than to prosper through the merit of others, while discouraging businesses from relocating to our nation. |
