Should Taxes Be Shared Equally?

in Hive Learnerslast month

Taxis are meant to be paid to the government so that they can use it to restructure the country by building more infrastructures and also improving the economic condition of the country. Everyone pays tax whether directly or indirectly, especially those who work with the government because it must have been deducted from the salaries, even before they get the money. Paying tax is really good especially in a kind of country where the government use the taxes for what it is meant for and not just putting it in the pocket for selfish interest but getting a transparent government like that may be hard though.

Should the world rich men be taxed more that every other person and will it be fair?

Hmm, this is a tough question and it’s in two ways in which I’d love to explain. It’s not wrong if the world rich men are taxed more than commoners. We pay tax from our income, right? So it won’t make sense for me and someone whom we don’t earn the same amount of money or at least the same range of income. If the price of our taxes are the same, the load will be too much for the poor ones because after removing the tax from their salaries, the remaining income will be very little.

So I feel the rich ones should pay more but this does not mean that the fee should be extravagant or too high. It should be around a price that the can pay conveniently and that is suitable to be paid as tax.
Is this fair?
At first, I was thinking it may not be fair but I think I’m being fair here. If they pay the same amount as commoners, it may not be fair on the commoners side too so I feel the best thing to do is for rich people to pay higher taxes but not too high.

Who will benefit more if the government takes the same percentage from everyone’s income?

The rich ones of course because they will have more money. They earn more money so removing little percent from their salary may not move them. Imagine that I’m earning #50,000 and 10%, it means I’d be left with #45,00 which is not enough for me. Honestly, it would not make sense that way and if at all they want to make it the same percentage, it should be cheap for everyone.

What’s the best solution?

The best thing is to set a percentage according to the range of your salary. This way, the load won’t be too much on anyone either the rich or poor.
If they do it this way, no one will feel cheated.
This may not seem to satisfy everyone especially those who earn higher money but the aim is that everyone is able to survive and the amount deducted from their income will serve as little or nothing to them.

If you also feel you have any solution to this, I’d love to know that.

Sort:  

Taxation is theft.

Especially when it is too high😅😅

Any is to much. imo the government has zero right to money I earned

As they say, the rich will always remain rich and the poor remains poor. This is because the government over taxes the average citizen even more than the rich.

The government just want to favor the rich people in every way😁😁

It is well.

... the aim is that everyone is able to survive, and the amount deducted from their income will serve as little or nothing to them.

I agree with you, @rafzat. The same tax percentage is removed from everyone who is earning, which at times doesn't really favor the average or low income earners. Setting a percentage range based on salary income will do more good

You’re very correct
It will be so fair on the poor people to pay the exact amount the rich people pay

We all know that taxies are to be paid to the government so has to build the community and make citizens benefit what that are paying for. But it a bit different here in Nigeria.

We all sabi as Naija be, lok

The rich will always benefit, and the poor are the ones who pay the largest proportion.

That’s just how the world is now and it’s very sad

There is not a single country that uses taxes properly. Taxes should not even be a thing. If the people want something, they will find a way to fund it. It shouldn't be taken from me by force then reallocated to things that I do not see fit or agree with. Private companies are WAY more efficient than governments.

They take it from people by force which even makes it worst, lol

I try to use crypto as much as I can to avoid the tax man.

Razfat, taxation here is a way to make people go down the drain and make life hard, frustrating desperation out of the citizens.

They want to collect all our money😅😅

You pump out multiple posts a day and yet cannot answer the comments people leave on your own posts.

Shameful!

It shows that you don't care about the engagement people leave on your posts and disregard for those users who take the time to comment to you and that all you care about is posting for rewards...which I'll be reducing.

Wow
If you check for the past two weeks, you’d see how consistent I am responding and upvoting my people’s comment on my post
And the past two weeks which has been tight doesn’t mean I should stop posting
Even though I have not been checking, I’d surely check when I’m free
And if it’s about the rewards, I’d have stopped posting since you’ve been downvoting me
I guess that’s why you’re downvoting my articles but check my previous works so you’d know I’m never like that
Peace🙏🏼

And if you choose to keep reducing my rewards, God be with you
You have more Hive power, do as you like😊
I wish us both well!
