    Everyone has well covered my frustration with both the tax ideas here and some miscarriage justice, so I have this question:

    Question:

    • What countries do you think are really good examples of what right looks like for taxation?

    • Any countries that rise above the rest for proper proportion of personal tax, corporate tax, etc?

    Why: The older I get, the more I feel like Americans are tought that capitalism good, else bad; rich are the reason the rest of us have it as good as we do, and we should thank them for it.

    I’d like to compare to other countries, that’s why I’m curious,.just trying to Google is a broad starting place.

      I’d start with a braoder picture first that will have the best chance of naturally funneling you to the information you seek.

      I’d start with looking up what merits are used to consider a government ran program successful.

      From there use those merits but look for examples of programs and the governments responsible for the programs that have been used as models for what happens when a program FAILS to meet each of those merits.

      Then look at what each of the failed programs cost to the taxpayers and what percentage of that goverment’s total the failed program accounts for.

      Divide those costs by the population of tax payering citizens and you will have what earch failed program cost each person.

      Do the same process for successful programs to form a picture of what efficient tax funded programs vs inefficient/failed programs look like.

      Ive done similar analysis cant remember what the reson specifically was for but the added bonus of doing the search yourself is

        This seems like a very academic and thought intensive process. That’s not a criticism.

        I’ll have to fight my natural instincts of finding the easy button on this one.

        Thanks

        Some of what you mentioned reminds me of the use it or loose is spending model of appropriated funds, and the automatic renewal of some funding year and year.
