| Topic | Why can't there be a donation system in place of a lot of existing taxes |

The average tax payer doesn't know how to spend their savings wisely, let alone how to allocate taxes for a metropolitan area lol What you are saying doesn't even make sense. We vote on most of the taxes that are imposed on us, if the average tax payer doesn't know how they should spend their savings then why let us vote on taxes at all? Like let's say there is a tax of 10 dollars a month to fix roads and most people voted yes for that tax. How is it that the average tax payer knows how to spend their money when it comes to our current system on the ballot, but if they weren't legally binded to pay, they wouldn't know what to do? I don't really understand what you are saying exactly. The benefit of this system is the people who didn't want it, don't have to pay, and things that maybe the majority didn't want can still happen because the minority of people spend enough to make it still happen. My other problem with what you are saying is that Trump or our government or whomever knows better than us with what we should do with our money. Why? I don't see why having authority or holding a position of power makes your opinion or perspective more valuable inherently. idk, just seems like a weird thing to say. Like who is it to say who knows best on that sort of thing. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
