[BrownArmy]

the ones that receive the most government services should pay the most.

Corporations?

whatever pay as you go. Don't steal it from me and tell me you're doing it for my own good.

That relates to major corporations paying little, or in some cases negative taxes, exactly how?

What are these 'user fees' you suggest?

So you think UPS should pay a fee to use roads rather than corporate tax?

That's just stupid.

I agree, I'm not the one who suggested it though. Talk to Newfie guy about it.

I have way less than I use to own, but still have a significant amount that grandfather left 2 me, I traded some for apple, put some into mutual funds , and growing low interest on some from savings accounts.

He might mean "use tax".....not sure.

tolls create a bureacracy. we have a toll bridge and they have to spend all the money on the technology on the bridge to collect the toll, and then theres a group of people who collect the toll. ditto for parking meters.

i have a moral problem with tolls because they discriminate based on use, not based on ability to pay. a dirt poor person might have to use a bridge, or a library, and theres no way they should be forking over money to pay for it.

i would think blanket taxation would be way more efficient because at least you would save on the parking meters, tolls technology, etc.

sigh...you do realize they take in more money then they spend on toll collection? Please tell me you do

 

[DriveInDriveOut]

So again, you don't think UPS should pay corporate taxes, you think they should pay a use tax on their use of roads?

yea im saying its a more inefficient way of collecting taxes because your spending more money collecting the tax than if it was a tax on the highest earning corporations or the richest in society
