There arebig buisnesstax breaks for example, wich are good in the sense that they help the economy as over taxing the buisness would slow economic growth. However at the same time these tax breaks inherently benifit larger corperations as opposed to smaller firms due to the volume of production. This is a system that favors big buisiness. So there is economic growth, that makes more jobs. We want more jobs, but then our producing big buisnesses need to stay competitive price wise, keeping production costs low by not paying the floor worker on a level of the CEO. So cheap labour is good for economic growth also, however there is a cost of living. If wages are to low they is a problem with daily living expenses wich is no good, but you can not solve it with mandating a minumum wage, this only serves to raise inflation and unemployment while slowing economic growth. How do you resolve this? By keeping in mind the level of disposable income when taxing.
Though they pay more of the total of goverment income, individualy they are not paying a larger percentage of there disposable income. It works to ways, companies need labourers to get things done and labourers need companies to provide jobs. Taxing the labourer puts a strain on the labourer and causes problems ranging form decreased productivity to increased crime, slowing the economy. However if you try to tax the buisnisess you again hit the economy and it will be a double blow again as they are interdependant. So how do you best work to maintain a stable economy and move in the direction of a libertarian society? You tax those who are profiting the most off the system, those perosnal individuals with the largest disposable incomes, after all, they are making those incomes from the system that is supported by the taxes. Further more, these are the individuals with the money and power to influence goverment's politicians. If you expect change in waste and excessive goverment you will have to wait for that % of the top earners to push closer to 100%. Only then will you see the country move in a Libertarian direction. > MJ > Do elaborate and provide example. > > Regard$, > --MJ > > I sit on a man's back, choking him and making him carry me, and > yet assure myself and others that I am very sorry for him and wish > to ease his lot by all possible means -- except by getting off his > back. -- Leo Tolstoy > ForumWebSiteAt http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Libertarian Yahoo!
