Since communism has been theoretically demonstrated to be less wasteful and more efficient than capitalism, the average wage per person would rise dramatically. Let's assume just a 100 fold increase so no one accuses us of overestimating. Taxes would rise to a modest 99.5%, but we would get that back in shared services like health care, food, accommodation, travel, clothes and so on, so it's not like a real tax. The bit we keep can be labelled allowance money for convenience.<BR/><BR/>Now obviously we don't work in a perfect society. We should pay more taxes, no argument, but since we are forced to live in an inefficient society, we can honestly set aside some of our taxes to compensate us for the state's human rights violations such as not giving us shared services like health care, food, accommodation, travel, clothes and so on. You should also set aside money that you are currently force to spend on campaigning for a fairer society like attending demos, printing leaflets and so on.<BR/><BR/>Some like you and me work for virtuous non-profit organisations. Since we don't make a profit we are not stealing the surplus value of other's work. Many in society do make a profit. That profit is stolen from workers and should by rights be the property of the community. The community includes you and me. Ergo, anyone who makes a profit steals from you and me. So you should withhold taxes to compensate for the profits of capitalism. <BR/><BR/>So all in all, we already pay far too much tax unlike those other bastards.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
