Infinite tax bracket is good idea for USA

Why do tax brackets exist instead of a continuous function by which taxes are calculated? Like why should the rate for someone earning 50K US$/yr be the same as someone earning 60K? And why should every dollar below 38K be taxed at 15% and every dollar above at 25%? Isn't that arbitrary? Isn't infinite tax brackets most sensible and nuanced system? Like for each additional penny earned the tax rate is incrementally higher but never increases fast enough (approaches 80% as income approach infinity for example) to make it totally counter productive to earn more?
Just stick your income in an equation get your tax rate on all your income easy.

Then 300,000,000 people would have 300,000,000 different tax rates. Too complicated:^)

No, too complicated.

How about we just get rid of income taxes

this is great idea and you must be great guy

I'll spell it out for you. Rich people don't get their money from income. There are things such as investments and businesses that generate income and can be used to avoid taxes since they're good for the economy.

Fucking this
Shit is not constitutional

*from salary

The Constitution literally gives Congress the power to tax.

Thanks to an Amendment nobody wanted and Woodrow Wilson himself admitted he made a terrible mistake letting it get passed.

Too bad, but it's literally in the constitution and therefore by definition constitutional.

If you don't like I hear Somalia doesn't do income tax.

I never said it wasn't constitutional

Alcohol prohibition was in the constitution, added by a shitty amendment
The next thing that should go is everything W. Wilson touched.

I despise draining over 1k a month on taxes, but I also like having a funded government, so I guess it's 50/50 for me.

First off anything unconstitutional is null and void, second off the tax amendment/income tax never fully ratified...so idk man this tax shit is so Jewish like right now and needs to change, we work as slaves to pay the gov then we keep the money, but we still pay taxes on property and car tags and shit it needs to stop..

Anyways, it ducks about the alcohol thing, the Fed gov will ban it (no worrying about constitutionality) and then they will be like ohh fine here you guys go with your alcohol, however, you can't drink in public, drive with a can in your car, no alcohol on beach and parks, and no drinking and driving.
If congresss actually did there jobs deciding what is legal and not, we wouldn't have such Jewish taxes...

You think founding fathers would put up with not being able to drink on the beach or in a state park?
LMAO

>unconstitutional
We need a better way to say the original unmolested constitution so fags like can't just argue semantics.

>basis of argument is that its in an outdated 300 year old document
>basis of argument is that some smart people in 1700s might not like it

I don't think you own everything in your paycheck because you and your employer don't exist in a vacuum and your paycheck isn't purely a product of your labor. All of this exists within the context of a larger society and ecosystem along with all the infrastructure and systems that enable that. One should be expected to contribute back to maintaining and reforming those systems in the interest of the economy and protection of the environment and the working class. And money tends to lose value in improving quality of life the more of it one has, which is why progressive income taxation system is sensible to collect the resources to accomplish those things.

>I don't think you own everything in your paycheck because you and your employer don't exist in a vacuum and your paycheck isn't purely a product of your labor
Let's hear it then, what is your paycheck a product of, other than your labor?
>All of this exists within the context of a larger society and ecosystem along with all the infrastructure and systems that enable that
A larger society that clearly wants whatever it is you are producing. This "ecosystem' isn't doing you a favor, its a mutually beneficial relationship.
>One should be expected to contribute back to maintaining and reforming those systems in the interest of the economy and protection of the environment and the working class
No, that money is used for the opposite of that. Asset relief programs and bailouts reward financially irresponsible decisions. You're thinking of property taxes and charity.
>And money tends to lose value in improving quality of life the more of it one has, which is why progressive income taxation system is sensible to collect the resources to accomplish those things.
No, it loses its value when the FED prints more off to either buy stocks or more Treasury bonds our government already can not afford to pay off. The 16th Amendment should be named the "Never ending source of passive income for bankers act"

A lot of stupid Eurofag Communists here. That's all that is. Take your Taxes and shove them up your poor ass. We all know you're the only one who's going to be paying them.

Do you know how hard I try to not hate you? It's so fucking difficult...

Continuous function is much better than the current system. 80% is an outrageous amount though. Also, eliminate income tax and jack up sales tax.

The thing is that you guys are too naive to realize that you are paying the Company's Income Tax...

Where the hell do you think the Extra Money is coming from that they are paying the Taxes with? The Consumer... duh...

Retarded!

Some taxes are like this, for example if you have a small independent business in The Netherlands and you have to pay below 1800 yurodollars VAT you don't have to pay it. At 2300 (or something) you have to pay the full amount, and between those two numbers is a smooth scale.
But of course they do this because else you get the weird situation that you're actually losing money if you make 9000 instead of 8500.

I did taxes in 2015 and he's right

Dutchfag here:
>Our tax system:
>1.Total income
>2.Pre tax deductions
>3. 0 - 20K - 36% tax
>4. 20K - 33K - 40.8% tax
>5. 33K - 67K - 40.8% tax
>6. 67+ - 52% tax
>7. After tax deductions

If you're self-employed you'll get more tax deductions because you'll have to take care of your own retirement and pay insurance fees

Pros of this system:
- richer people get taxed more (in total percents of income).
- distribution of wealth
- state receives a lot of tax yearly, (which is spend quite well):
- college/uni is nearly free (2k year tuition)
- great roads infrastructure (are you reading US?)
- great internet infrastructure (almost everywhere fiberglass cable)
- state retirement at age 67 (are you reading US?)
- low healtcare costs (Amerifats are you reading this?)
- low crime rates due to great social conditions (Inbred US white trash, are you reading?)
- great water management 1 (you can drink tap water, which is also used for showers, toilets)
- great water management 2 (dykes, dunes, how did that go with Katrina in New Orleans?)
- Great social housing (no slums and gettos like in third world country United States)

Cons:
- I am uni educated, pay a lot of taxes
- Paying for nignogs from north africa

2/3 of my expenses are on income taxes. I am literally funding two Americans to live full-time and I can't even vote. In exchange I get ... what? to be threatened by random invasions in every other country in the world? to be threatened for peaceful possession of various chemicals or plants or tools, or even for trying to buy science equipment?

Fuck the USG.

Filthy Communist. We don't care what you think and we won't replicate your ideas. Your ideas are naive and Childish just like your Country with your Shitty Electricity Cost.

Income and property taxes are theft

A variable tax is a pretty interesting idea, but it would basically mean some people are taxed next to nothing while others are taxed 90% of their income. there would be less incentives to push your income down to the next tax bracket too, which is a good thing as it prevents tax fraud and what not.


Its definitely a workable idea but then again income tax is immoral/theft

lmao go back to college if you don't know the difference between communism and socialism, retard. Oh and good luck with your 140K student loans. Glad my govt paid all.

>A larger society that clearly wants whatever it is you are producing. This "ecosystem' isn't doing you a favor, its a mutually beneficial relationship.
In many cases, it is other citizens doing you a favor. Plenty of our infrastructure and systems are not purely a product of private enterprise. And ecosystem also as defined by the living and non-linear'ly entities that aren't a part of human civilization that deserve government protection since they otherwise don't enjoy legal status but that we do depend upon.
>No, that money is used for the opposite of that. Asset relief programs and bailouts reward financially irresponsible decisions.
Sometimes profit incentive causes financially irresponsible decisions. Sometimes there are greater priorities to serve than whatever benefits a purely market economy allows for. Sometimes it's nice to have stability and piece of mind in markets.

sorry I'm trying to type on my phine

rich don't pay taxes anyways

A flat rate tax system where everyone pays the same percentage is much better and more fair imo

I will vote for another Retard George W. Bush if it pisses you retard Communists & Socialists off. You are such scum.

Takes pride in living off of Government Benefits. No pride at all... European.

>In many cases, it is other citizens doing you a favor.
No, If they charge me for it, then it is a service not a favor. Whether or not I derive any benefit is subjective.
>deserve government protection
This is entirely subjective and way too vague to leave up to central planning (which is also subjective, I'll admit)
>ecosystem also as defined by the living and non-linear'ly entities that aren't a part of human civilization that deserve government protection since they otherwise don't enjoy legal status but that we do depend upon.
You're gonna have to elaborate on that
>Sometimes profit incentive causes financially irresponsible decisions
When you eliminate profit incentive you pretty much guarantee they will be irresponsible because they have nothing to lose. Who cares if these poor people default on their loans, the taxpayers will pay for our mistakes.
>Sometimes it's nice to have stability and piece of mind in markets.
This is based purely on insecurity and piece of mind in markets is a joke, you can't predict the future or what the next big thing will be.

You're clearly not retarded so let me ask you this, how does adding a middle man/an additional middle make anything more affordable in terms of real value? Much less a middle man who owes more in debt to a central bank than there is money in our economy? The Income tax law was meant to subsidize the Federal Reserve System's usury and don't ever forget it. THEY GOT YOU BY THE BALLS KIDDO
