Forum Post: Social Justice: Tax The Shit out of the Non-Productive (i.e., the "poor")

These demands apply to those in the bottom 45% of the income distribution:

Tax 'em when they are alive: top income tax rates of 90%, and tax them again when they are dead with a massive estate tax. Tax non-profits at the full corporate rate, eliminate deductions for childcare and college savings accounts.

Tax crime at the rate of $150,000 for each car theft, $250,000 for each burglary, $1,000,000 for a rape, and $25,000,000 for premeditated murder. Charge $500 a day for incarceration.

Phase out income taxes to zero for those in the top 1%.

Impose burdensome government regulations on the idle and non-productive, requiring the idle and unemployed to fill out endless forms justifying their idle state. Tax the unemployed at a rate of $100 a day unemployed plus document processing fees.

Tax university students at the rate of $50 per day at college, then require service in the US military for all degree earners, with progressively higher service requirements (years in service) the higher the degree earned. Medical doctors, for example, would have to perform 10 years of active duty service for the US military. Require university students to justify, annually, why they should be permitted to continue to be non-productive and the country should not reassign them to the military or other useful activity.

Sweet justice.
