Why does tax have to be a percentage? Why can't it be a fixed amount

X% tax is not the same on a person that ears 2k per month and a person who earns 500$ per month

Why tax at all, the government controls the water supply that is all they need.

Because people who earn much more than you would pay the same amount as you which is both illogical and inefficient.

Flat tax is the best taxing policy ever created. Everyone pays a certain percentage no matter the income - 10% (for example) so someone who gets 1000 pays 100 and someone who gets 1 000 000 pays 100 000. True equality.

I think if we in Bulgaria set the flat tax to zero and increase the vat by 8%-10% this would actually increase revenues

That's been tried, quite often and usually very briefly. The simple reason why it fails is that there will be a situation, repeatedly, where the tax demand is higher than what some individuals earned. And if you try to extort more than what people have, their willingness to pay becomes inconsequential. They simply can't. So, fighting erupts.

"The art of taxation consists in so plucking the goose as to procure the largest quantity of feathers with the least possible amount of hissing - Jean-Baptiste Colbert"

Basically a percentage means you get more from the rich than you do from the poor while being able to play the "fairness" game.

If you had a fixed poll tax then it would be too high for the the poor (who are numerous and bolshy) and too low for the middle class and rich (who have the fucking money you actually need).

Because the government takes as much as it can get away with, not as much as it needs.

Aussie-bro. This may be true where you live. Here, water falls from they sky 9 out of 10 days. And on the tenth day, all you have to do is dig an 8 inch hole and you've got a sweet water well

taxation is theftation

>it's another "poo in loo asks a dumb question that's obvious to anyone else"
because then poor people would have to give half of their money and rich people would only have to give something that's nothing to them

Why does poo have to be everywhere? Why can't it be in a fixed toilet

>Indian brain

It would hurt the vast majority of people. Poor people would end up paying 70% of their income while rich people would end up paying 0.00001% of their income. It would be fucking retarded and end up getting changed after a couple of months.
