Why are taxes good?

it's in direct opposition to free enterprise

small business are over powered

I don't know, but I fucking hate most dog owners even though I am one.

Not science, sage.

Well obviously bill gates would get taxed higher than a local fruit and veg shop

Depends on what you consider to be a high level of taxation, but if it's too high then there's little point in operating a business.

The real question is, what's wrong with taxation so long as capitalism is able to continue?

And the answer is that the people who make the laws regarding businesses, regulations and taxation care more about the money that can be gotten in bribes and donations and cushy jobs than they do about getting votes.

Oh, and inb4 someone cites Hauser's Law or the Laffer curve as evidence against the efficiacy of higher marginal taxes.

>bawww fuck your empirical evidence JUST TAX DA RICH

Too ambiguous, first you have to define what is best using rational philosophy, you must then scientifically determine the best means of doing this taking into account many things such as the chaotic nature of certain phenomena, the limits to your administrative capabilities and intelligence, crime and corruption, the differing thoughts and feelings of the general populace and so forth.

>hurr only marginal tax rates apply to people of all classes and seeing a correlation between two sets of data allow me to infer anything in my favor.

The Laffer curve isn't an empircal observation, btw.

capitalism is fine until it control the politicians. where laws are being manipulated to go against the people.

america liberated from the british because of tax and now crumble under another taxation. its citizen are being too media fed to do anything about it. anyone with a brain already realize its a shit hole and will get away from it.

There's no point to taxes, people should be able to spend their money on what they need, not what society wants. The state is just a middle-man.

the government was originally made to serve the people, by the people. it is being twisted by corporation in america.

It created corporations in the first place, such entities do not exist in capitalism, and now they run the government.

The key is to prevent a clot of power from existing, an entrenched oligarchy. The best way to do this is simple capitalism. The worst way to do this is the kind of corporate-government alliance we see in the US or Russia.

Your post offends me, i am a the child of a child of a survivor of the holocaust and this picture makes me feel as if you killed 6 million of my people again. Reported for glorification of Fascism.

You are under the false impression that a "corporation" can exist without the state.

A corporation is just a special entity created by the state which gives the state control over the business of man via the promise of limited liability.

The state makes it too dangerous to do business without registering yourself as a "corporation," because without "corporation" status you are far more liable than if you have it.

"Corporation" is not a capitalist entity it is an entity of Big Government.

the USA is in too deep of a shit hole. the federal reserve is a private bank system that owns the state. US owes it trillions and the number is not getting smaller.

there is no solution until federal reserve is abolished all together.

Because capitalism is the economic equivalent of democracy. If we let the masses dictate the market we get shit like ipads rather than trips to titan.

Most fruity hipster leftist types don't realise by hating on capitalism they are just attacking the middle class, making them foot the bill for what the plutocracy should be paying for and denying the highly educated middle class the opportunity to compete with plutocrats for executive positions. You see this attitude in their sub-culture, the constant hating against "corporate drones" and the ordinary "nine to fivers" they see in everyday life even though these people are actually more of a threat to the plutocracy than they are.
