I am not Joe Biden. Also, that is not super relevant to the question. You are deflecting.

On the revenue side, conservatism is always pushing for lower taxes. It is unclear what the target is, or if it is merely to have spending = revenue. There was once a proposed goal of a flat 10% income or consumption tax. I'm not sure if that's still popular.

Which nations have the best overall tax policies? Is there a nation to model ourselves after in terms of taxation?

The US prior to Biden since Trump just reformed our tax system.

Not a nation, but here in Florida, we don't have income taxes.

Somehow, we have roads, schools, police, fire departments, and trash removal.

This is considered to be impossible by the tards on the Left.

Republicans and Trump cut taxes across the board including corporate,individual and capital gains.

And used broad tariffs as a central feature of the overall tax strategy. You have no idea how much tariff tax increases you paid. Out of sight, out of mind.

Again: What nation currently has the most ideal tax structure?


Who cares and why should we aspire to be like any of the other shitty nations on earth?

I am trying to ascertain what countries have the best tax structure by which to model ourselves after.

Democrats have some European nations to point at. I'm curious what nations Republicans can point at and say "look at them, they rock."


This is a dumb premise. If America always tried to emulate other countries, we would have never achieved the status we did. Instead of asking "what country can we copy," you should be asking "what is best for our citizens?". Does being able to keep more of the money they make help families? Yes, it does. It's also been shown that lower taxes actually increase tax revenue.

Why do you people continue to push for policies that are proven failures? Why are you so willing to give up the money you earn to a government that gives it to foreign countries, illegal aliens, and lazy pieces of shite?

There is this thing called charity. If you want to give away your money, then fine. But you assholes want to force other people to give away their money under threat of imprisonment. That makes you a terrible person.

Bring the government back to the constitution. Get government’s role back to what it should be, then form a tax structure. That will be the best in the world.

I'm a libertarian, I'd prefer a system like the UAE.

Corporate tax: 0%
VAT tax: 5%
Income tax: 0%
(Must note they have other assorted fees[especially for non-citizens] and social security)*

Dubai itself is run like a private company. Actually owning businesses to generate revenue for the city and citizens. Last I heard Dubais economy was only 5% oil.

UAE makes their money from attracting every business imaginable to further enrich their workers and economy. They are proof that tax revenue is not the end all, be all. The USA has a spending problem.

Meanwhile you support a corporate tax hike and think it'll get those rich to pay their fair share.

I don't GAF what other countries are doing. They can go to 100% for all I care. You ever seen the Nancies from other countries? You try to mimic their lifestyle?

What government service are you provided that you believe is handled prudently and without abuse? Social Security? FDA? National Defense? Infrastructure? I can go on and on. There is a need for infrastructure, but government contracts are lined with kickbacks.

I understand you are trolling, but why use the arbitrary cutoff at 10M in population?

There's a pretty significant gap between a country of 12M people and 330M people.
