32%, but much higher for the wealthy

I always was, want to be and will always be capitalist! I don't want the income tax to be higher for the wealthy...if anything, I want it to be lower for the wealthy!

Why by Din would you want that? Shoulden't income tax just be a flat percentage no matter how much you make?

No, I don't want percentage, I want everyone to pay a spacific amount which is the same. I want everyone to pay 500kalaspi (kalaspi being our currency) weather they earn 2,000kalaspi or 200,000kalaspi!

But that's stupid! Your barly make a dent in one person whale condemming many others to homlessnes and starvation. Why is one person's 2,000 out of 200,000 less taxable then another's 2,000 out of 2,000?

Then you DO NOT want to become a Socialist nation.

Classic story, NOT mine. I changed Democrat to Socialist:

A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age, she considered herself to be a very liberal Socialist, and among other liberal ideals, was very much in favor of higher taxes to support more government programs, in other words redistribution of wealth.

She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch Capitalist, a feeling she openly expressed. Based on the lectures that she had participated in, and the occasional chat with a professor, she felt that her father had for years harbored an evil, selfish desire to keep what he thought should be his.

One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to higher taxes on the rich and the need for more government programs. The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the truth and she indicated so to her father. He responded by asking how she was doing in school.

Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting that she was taking a very difficult course load and was constantly studying, which left her no time to go out and party like other people she knew. She didn't even have time for a boyfriend, and didn't really have many college friends because she spent all her time studying.

Her father listened and then asked, 'How is your friend Audrey doing?' She replied, 'Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are easy classes, she never studies, and she barely has a 2.0 GPA. She is so popular on campus; college for her is a blast. She's always invited to all the parties and lots of times she doesn't even show up for classes because she's too hung over.'

Her wise father asked his daughter, 'Why don't you go to the Dean's office and ask him to deduct 1.0 off your GPA and give it to your friend who only has a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA.'

The daughter, visibly shocked by her father's suggestion, angrily fired back, 'That's a crazy idea, and how would that be fair! I've worked really hard for my grades! I've invested a lot of time, and a lot of hard work! Audrey has done next to nothing toward her degree. She played while I worked my tail off!'

The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, 'Welcome to the Capitalist party.'
Capitalism is just Darwinism with money.

This is not a place to argue about politics. Go to General for that.

For the OP, choose options that favor the rich, corporations, and low tax if you get such issues. That will probably work.

But you obviously weren't always capitalist.
Refer to Wikipedia, the article about Jennifer Government's NationStates, and it will inform you on what you need to do to switch to a different government type.

Just answer an issue that lowers your taxes; they tend to restore flat tax rates as well.

Also, I'm a RL liberal running my nation according to my own political views and my tax rate is lower than yours! *blows raspberry*
One of many Czardas puppets. I regarded this as my main account upon creating it and for several years thereafter, but these days, that's no longer important.
Death is patient, death is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Death does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
