Description[?]:
| »Firstly, why should the rich pay taxes if they don't use any public services? Secondly, why should people be punished progressively the harder they work? Thirdly, we're rich, so why are we taxing ourselves? Also, I think you will notice that the income tax revenue is considerably larger; almost quintuple I'd say. If we then adjust the budget to have 20 percent profit margins, we will not only prepare ourselves for the corporate-state in Kabushiki's holy name, but we shall still have a considerably larger budget that we may use for a much larger defense budget. Oh hell! <rips up bill, and resubmits a new one, raising the second tax bracket from greater than 24,999 to 39,999 BLD and greater> Now, isn't this even better?« ~Natasha Goldstein (Goldstein Corporation) |
