>You don't pay a fix dollar tax per citizen, but a percentage of your income Yeah, the government has a monopoly on that. > I can see private companies doing the same. You must be American then. This is where all this friction comes from. Corporations aren't people, nor should they be government. This is not because the people who work there are bad people or something, but because they are legally binded to do whatever maximizes profits. They are by definition not operating in the common good (they are not supposed to!). There is no democratic oversight. You can imagine companies doing the same. As a European, i can't. It's a problem. And its fake innovation anyway. Where is the America that did real research and real innovation? That put people on the moon? These days all you guys are good for is 'bussiness model innovations'. Ways to cheat, extort or externalize the costs. Quality of life is just going downhill the more of these type of products one uses. Technology is regressing. |
