A recent article in the paper talked of how some counties in Indiana are finding ways to reduce the property tax burden by, among other ways, increasing county income taxes. This brought to mind one of our positions:
2. We believe in generating needed government revenue by increasing the economic activity in the county through soliciting & promoting manufacturing and retail activity and not by reducing the revenue need to generate this activity by lowering the spendable amount one has to fuel this income producing machine by increasing their tax burden.
One thing is for sure, an entity can only charge/tax you on something if they lay claim/own it. The day they started taxing the citizen on his property is the day they took ownership over it.
This go's for your wages also.
A sales/consumption tax is the only fair way we can live in freedom of the government confiscating our possessions.
If you have more, you pay more. If you have less, you pay less.
