You are right. Perhaps we should have a new type of deduction.
Let's say we give everyone who employees someone else a 1% break in
tax. If you employ enough people, the government can start paying you!
: Where is your ambition
The discussion is not about ambition, it is about fairness. Do you
really think that it is fair to pay a higher percentage of your income
the less you make? There is already enough insentive to make more money
we do not need the government to use tax breaks as an incentive.
I believe that any system that taxes people on a even basis (percentage
wise) is fair. I do not personally agree with the current, the more you
make the more of each dollar you pay tax approach. But the more you make
the LESS you pay of each additional dollar is worse.
