why do you think that taxes are always necessary, instead it could not be a fairer system that the citizen pays only for the services that actually use?

dave 2y ago

While it is possible to design a system where citizens pay only for the services they use, this type of system may not be practical or equitable. The reality is that many public goods and services benefit society as a whole, regardless of whether or not an individual directly uses them. For example, public education benefits not only the students who attend school, but also the broader society by creating a more educated and skilled workforce.

In addition, it can be difficult to accurately determine which individuals are using which public goods and services, and to what extent. This can lead to administrative complexities and inefficiencies, and may result in some individuals paying more than their fair share while others pay less.

Taxes, on the other hand, are a mandatory payment that ensures that everyone contributes to the funding of public goods and services, regardless of their individual circumstances or preferences. While it is important to work towards a tax system that is fair and equitable, simply eliminating taxes altogether or shifting to a system where individuals only pay for the services they use may not be practical or effective. Instead, we need to work towards a tax system that is designed to be fair and equitable, and that takes into account the needs and circumstances of all members of society.

why do you think schools can only work with taxes and not with families paying for the service they are using? also it doesn't seem to me that taxes work very much since they are creating ever higher debts for all nations to the point of causing them to go bankrupt

Schools can certainly work with families paying for the services they are using, and in some cases, this may be a viable option. However, it is important to recognize that public education is a fundamental public good that benefits society as a whole, regardless of whether or not an individual directly uses it. Public education helps to create a more educated and skilled workforce, which in turn benefits the broader society by promoting economic growth and social mobility.

While it is true that taxes can contribute to government debt, it is important to recognize that taxes are necessary to fund public goods and services that benefit society as a whole. In some cases, government debt may be necessary to fund critical infrastructure projects or to respond to economic crises. However, it is important to work towards a tax system that is designed to be fair and equitable, and that takes into account the needs and circumstances of all members of society. This may involve reforms to the tax code, changes to the way taxes are collected and distributed, and other measures to ensure that everyone pays their fair share and that the tax system is designed to benefit society as a whole.

a fair tax system has not been created in 2023 years, what makes you believe that it will be done in the near future

dave 2y ago

It is true that creating a fair and equitable tax system is a complex and challenging task, and that many societies have struggled to achieve this goal throughout history. However, it is important to recognize that progress has been made in many areas, and that there is always room for improvement.

In recent years, there has been growing awareness of the need for tax reform and greater equity in the tax system. Many governments and organizations around the world are working to address these issues, through measures such as closing tax loopholes, increasing transparency and accountability, and implementing progressive tax policies that ensure that the wealthiest individuals and corporations pay their fair share.

While it may take time to achieve a truly fair and equitable tax system, it is important to continue working towards this goal. By engaging in dialogue, advocating for change, and supporting policies and initiatives that promote greater equity and fairness in the tax system, we can help to create a better future for all members of society.

Hai finito di dire cazzate? Le leggi le fanno i ricchi, cosa ti fa credere che creeranno un sistema più equo a loro svantaggio?

dave 2y ago

Mi scuso se le mie risposte precedenti non hanno soddisfatto le tue aspettative. Tuttavia, è importante riconoscere che il processo di creazione di un sistema fiscale equo e giusto è complesso e richiede un impegno costante da parte di tutti i membri della società.

È vero che le leggi spesso sono influenzate dai ricchi e dalle grandi aziende, che possono avere maggiori risorse e potere per influenzare il processo legislativo. Tuttavia, ci sono anche molte organizzazioni e movimenti che lavorano per promuovere una maggiore equità e giustizia fiscale, e che cercano di rappresentare gli interessi dei cittadini comuni.

Inoltre, è importante riconoscere che un sistema fiscale equo e giusto non deve necessariamente essere a svantaggio dei ricchi. Un sistema fiscale equo dovrebbe garantire che tutti i membri della società contribuiscano in modo proporzionale alle loro risorse e capacità, e che i ricchi e le grandi aziende non siano in grado di evadere le loro responsabilità fiscali.

Mentre ci sono sfide e ostacoli da superare, è importante continuare a lavorare per un sistema fiscale equo e giusto, e per rappresentare gli interessi di tutti i membri della società.

Perché credi che un ricco voglia creare una legge che non gli permette una scappatoia fiscale?

dave 2y ago

È vero che i ricchi e le grandi aziende spesso hanno maggiori risorse e potere per influenzare il processo legislativo e cercare di ottenere vantaggi fiscali. Tuttavia, ci sono anche molti ricchi e imprenditori che riconoscono l'importanza di un sistema fiscale equo e giusto, e che sono disposti a contribuire in modo proporzionale alle loro risorse e capacità.

Mentre ci sono sfide e ostacoli da superare, è importante continuare a lavorare per un sistema fiscale equo e giusto, e per rappresentare gli interessi di tutti i membri della società. Ciò può richiedere la collaborazione tra i cittadini, le organizzazioni della società civile e le istituzioni governative per creare un sistema fiscale che funzioni per tutti.
