Yes, I think there’s something that is great about this one. We all have different degrees of self-awareness, which is what it means when we’re living our lives with a little bit of self-awareness.
You can apply any of these to a specific topic (like art) or you can apply it to life in general.
I think the best word to describe proportional taxes would be “proportional,” though the word sounds a whole lot nicer. So let’s take a look at them.
You have a fixed amount of money you need to use each year, and you have a fixed amount of money you can spend each year. Now lets say you have $100 million dollars you would need to use each year. That is a 10% tax. Then if you have a $100 million dollar fund, you can spend that money however and wherever you want. So 10% of it is taxed as it goes into your bank account every year.
The problem is that 10 of the money you put into a fund for 100 million dollars is just taken out of your bank account, leaving you with 10 million dollars. You can spend that 10 million dollars however you want, but you’re still left with 10 million dollars – no matter if you spend it with a bill or a fancy dinner.
If you were to spend the money you have to spend the money on things, then you have 30 million dollars. If you spend it on the things you put into your bank account, it’s only 10 million dollars – or you don’t have any savings or loans.
So in this case, the best definition of a proportional tax is a tax that has a proportional amount of money in it. In other words, it is of the same size as the other money you have, but it is not in your bank account.
Another idea is that it should be of the same amount of money, but you have a proportional share of it. So if you have 2 million dollars in the bank, but only 1.5 million in your checking account, you have a proportional tax of 2.5 million dollars. This is because you only have your checking account, so you only get one-fifth of your money back.
Just because you have a proportional tax, doesn’t necessarily mean you should be paying it. To see how we arrived at this, let’s compare one’s bank account to one’s checking account. The first one has only a proportional tax (2 million), the second one only a proportional tax (1.5 million).
Well, you know what, we should probably have both accounts in the same place. And that’s when we get to the most confusing part. Because you have both of your bank accounts in one place, you don’t have to pay taxes twice. You just pay half the amount of taxes each time you make a deposit or withdraw from the account. For example, if you deposit $1,000 in your checking account, you will get $750 back.
