Why let Reality get in the way of a good socialist proposal? When you tell them that taxpayers will modify their behavior to optimize revenue, it does not matter to them. It is a ‘feel good’ (envious), big ‘get even’!
No matter the tax rates, the tax revenue ratio to GDP will be under 20%.
NO!! Really? Then they will just have to start up the firing squads until the revenue goes above 20% No exceptions or allowances. Just do it!
