Moving even more taxes off the wealthy and onto the poor and middle class is the opposite of what we need. Without tax, money is literally worthless - what we need to do, is have a "flat tax" on income over a certain amount, with no "loopholes" to get out of paying at least 15%.
I'm not sure how his idea does that, though to be fair it really doesn't do anything but move the taxes around. If they get rid of one, they just increase the other, although I do think it's a dickhead move for them to be double dipping. My money is
already taxed before it even hits my account. I'm paying all sorts of taxes, for every level of government. Federal, state, city, and of course I'm paying out to social security and I think even Medicare or something, too. And then I get to pay taxes
again with what's left in the form of sales taxes on everything from hot dogs to hard drives, and various taxes included in monthly bills such as electric. But then you have, as someone else in the thread mentioned, businesses paying next to nothing by abusing every loophole and write-off under the sun, moon and stars. That seems fair, right?
All I know is that digital coins are starting to be shooed off in China due to the power used
Some surfaced in Iran only to be given the boot, getting hard to place a coin mining operation
I'm not sure if they can even do that. Given that most of these mining farms are supposedly running on stolen power - if you're running a power plant or something, is there really no way for you to be able to see that "something" somewhere is drawing kilowatts, perhaps even megawatts, that it's not supposed to? Shouldn't you be able to look into that? Notwithstanding the current ideas making their way through various governments around the world, I would think that these farms running on stolen power should have been swiftly shut down ages ago, shortly after they started, simply due to the fact that they were running on stolen power.
