Until we have services to spend money on, why would we tax higher than 15%?


We are going to need the money to spend on services? Unless you don't plan on having the senate actually have any expenses. I mean, we're going to need a police and an army soon. We're also going to need to establish a justice system and we will need some sort of civil service. These things require funding.

With all due respect, I would prefer that the individual responsible for drafting the resolution telegram Denecap, and only after voting has concluded on the current proposal. If this is not acceptable, I believe that I, as an independent Senator heavily in favor of compromise, would be a cautious choice for the submission process. I'm not attached to any political party, and so the accusations that this is a partisan effort would not stick.

In any case, I would very much appreciate one more co-sponsor, preferably from a left-leaning party.

Yeah, I've decided. You have my vote. Looking at the alternative proposals by the communists, I'm worried that the centrists will be persuaded to vote for a future leftist tax bill if the right-wing members of the Senate, us Monarchists making up a large part of it, don't support this more moderate one. I hope that, along with the libertarians, we will be able to push a flat tax bill through at a later date but, for now, this is the lesser of two evils for us.

Is there a new draft that I'm not aware of? Because I still see the vast majority only being taxed as 15%.

Not at the moment. Would twenty percent secure the support of the Communist Party or the Red Green Party? I'm not willing to go any higher because doing so would alienate the right-leaning political organizations, and leaves us at the risk of continuing without any funding at all.

Here are the US federal income tax rates: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_tax ... ted_States

That does not include state income taxes. Now, as you know, compared to many nations, the US does not spend highly on government services. So unless we plan on spending substantially less than the US, no, the current rates will not be sufficient.

With the greatest of respect, most of this proposal was a combination of the PC's and the liberals and we have been working on it the last 12 hours. If we decide we want to take it to vote you can either support our liberal, conservative, monarchist bill, or not. I do sincerely hope you will join us and put forward the bill with us as you come from a similar point of view on several things.

Why? :eyebrow:

We of the Monarchist party are already giving up a lot by allowing such a large tax on the rich, it would be highly unjust for people to pay absolutely nothing. And if people are making 16,000 dollars then then they actually earn less after taxes then those who make 15,999...

I can't speak for the rest of the left, but personally believe that the richer sections of society should contribute more than is proposed in the current draft. I would be willing to accept, perhaps, 35-40% on incomes of roughly between 50,000-85,000, with higher brackets being taxed higher.

Such an amendment would drastically decrease the quality of life for our most downtrodden citizens. I think this unconscionable.



2.5% is next to nothing.

We of the Monarchist party are already giving up a lot by allowing such a large tax on the rich, it would be highly unjust for people to pay absolutely nothing. And if people are making 16,000 dollars then then they actually earn less after taxes then those who make 15,999...

No actually, first 16k is tax exempt for everyone.

We'd gain very little in taxes and just worsen people's misery.

Squeezing blood from a stone. And anyway, the contribution in absolute terms would be minimal and wouldn't contribute much to the budget, yet would substantially lower the standards of living for the nation's poorest citizens.
