RE: What Should the Minimum Wage be?
A much fairer way of taxation (which is a need of any nation) would be all income obtained through a blockchain and taxed at source, then visibly distributed to the relevant departments that in turn would be required to show where the taxed funds were being spent and why.
How is an organization forcing people within a geographical area to give up some of their wealth (taxation) a "need"?
So please explain to me how in this wonderful world with zero taxation would the public road networks be maintained and how exactly would you fund the Fire services, Ambulances, Public education, Military, Police, Who would pay for the Embassy's and the staff that work there. There are many thousands more need that we have as a group of people...
Yes we can do without many of the current "needs" we have but that doesn't mean all the need go away. Stop and think for a moment what exactly would happen if every person on the planet were to simply stop paying Tax... Things would go on for a while, but within days - weeks Schools would close, Hospitals in many countries would close, the water and electricity supply in many countries would be drastically restricted as they are partially funded by the Government.
I'm not saying the system is right, I'm simply saying the system needs updating but that system will have to include some form of "Taxation/Funding" for the greater social needs... or do we really live in a world where the needs/wants of the few outway the needs of the many?
Everything that the government does can be purchased voluntarily. Humans have incentives to pay for it.
