I personally think all taxes should be sales taxes. IMHO.

Why tax me twice? Tax me once and be done with it. Tax season sucks.

@realcaseyrollins The excise-only tax model is more popular than I think people realise, especially when they’re modeled right. Gas taxes pay for roads within the city/county/state, for example. It’s even better when the taxes are opt-in for the business rather than compulsory, but we can’t have too many good things.

@sev I feel like taxes should probably be compulsory, there'd be no incentive to pay them if they're optional.

@realcaseyrollins I think incentives could be devised, but for at least the foreseeable future, aye.

That said, I really am one of those :blobcatree:taxationsRtheft:blobcatree: folks, I swear.

@sev@ap.sevvie.ltd @realcaseyrollins@gameliberty.club

but the thing is.
taxes are to pay services.
but how are we know that the services that deserve the money are actually getting the money.(we simply don't)

the incentive is simple.
you don't fund the services and they don't serve.
this wait services that are actually needed at the time will get the funs.
and if they need more funds than they can do what everyone else does.
crowdfunding.

@sev@ap.sevvie.ltd @realcaseyrollins@gameliberty.club like seriously just go look up this amazing site called
'gofundme.org'
literally could replace everything that the government does (at least pertaining to taxes to fund services).

Follow

@loganer @sev Or, make a form where you check the boxes for which things you want to fund? Uncheck something and your taxes are cheaper?
