"-the outcome for redistributing the wealth of all the billionaires is a mere $37 per week per family"Sure, but think of the savory flavor of spite and revenge. A lil' Romanov Sauce makes everything most satisfying, and without the future Carnegie, Gates, Jobs, Bezos and the like, the Common Man will be free to create even greater "As Social Security has a maximum payout of $xx is there a reason for collecting contributions on more than that?" No reason needed to collect tax. All your base needs belong to Us "Taking the offered exemptions is no different than the "poor" taking all of their exceptions and deviations from base rates." The poor in the USA can get money paid to them at tax time via EIC if they can claim dependents. If you're a citizen, your dependents need Social Security numbers and the IRS will find out if your dependent is a goldfish, but you're not from heah it gets interesting. There are "charities" that will advise you on how to add children you have in Mexico to multiply your EIC payout, and informal networks set up to loan such children (papers attesting to their existence) at tax time. " Going to user pay for transit would remove any valid basis for non-users to obstruct any transit schemes." As a practical matter, ultra-dense areas like NYC and a few highway corridors nearby can't function without mass transit. Subsidizing the capital costs of mass transit **in such places** is a necessity. That same high density, plus no tolls, no taxes and preferential electric rates means there's so much ridership that operating subsidies shouldn't be needed. A train with 500 people on it has collected over $1000 in fare, and it probably gets at least one turnover per run (1000 distinct passengers), that's $2000. |
