The 3% over $250,000 did just get their taxes raised, a lot.
great. they deserve it.
Yet you still say they are not paying their share.
I think they need to be taxed fairly. Don't know the exact number, as it
depends on the individual situation.
The top 3% pays most of the (income) taxes.
That levels out a lot in the states with sales, excise and property
taxes.
When (not if) they get the VAT the "working class" will get hit a lot
harder than the rich as a proportion of their income vs the taxes they
pay.
The VAT will trickle down to everything, including things we think
should be tax free.
Top 3% does not pay most of the taxes. Middle class does.
But you are correct on the VAT. VAT screws everyone. That is one reason
why government likes sales taxes so much. The other is that it feeds
statism, sales taxes is a lot of non-value added government.
