"@MakeUSAVAT @pieck411 @alt_ccc X A flat tax with e.g. first $75k tax-free as in every major suggestion isnt tax cuts for the rich & hikes for everyone else. The bottom XX% pay X% of income tax theyd pay 0%. Middle class effective rates would drop from XX% to low single digits"

"@MakeUSAVAT @pieck411 @alt_ccc Millionaires get the biggest cut bc they pay XX% of the tax today. most studies show +0.51% long-run GDP & bigger capital stock. Its simpler and fairer than the current 7-million-word loophole circus and still quite progressive in practice"

"@pieck411 @MakeUSAVAT @alt_ccc Firstly for Musk to get his $1tn pay package he must increase Tesla's market value to $8.5tn. Secondly Elon Musk employs people in productive labor (ie. More jobs). More jobs = more competition in the job market raising wages as Elon Musk will want to attract the best workers"

"@MakeUSAVAT @pieck411 @alt_ccc Empirical data shows peaks are usually far lower: 3335pc in US historical income tax and are also lower in other countries. Some theoretical studies show 65pc but they assume low elasticity/behavioural changes Even at 6065pc incentives falter investment drops + growth slows"

"@MakeUSAVAT @pieck411 @alt_ccc It was a study based on the years 1959-91 found a revenuemaximizing top rate around 32.7%35.2 %"

"@MakeUSAVAT @pieck411 @alt_ccc empirical studies (and theoretical) show it can be lower or higher depending on the measure/method. It's certainly not an exact science when it comes to the curve lol"

"@MakeUSAVAT @pieck411 @alt_ccc Yes it is. Investment and incentives will drop and falter and people will try to dodge taxes too"

"@MakeUSAVAT @pieck411 @alt_ccc And most empirical studies don't suggest that revenue only falls at 70pc"

"@MakeUSAVAT @pieck411 @alt_ccc X. Empirical evidence backs this: multiple studies (eg. OECD) show diminishing returns/falling revenue when rates exceed 5060% depending on elasticity assumptions"

"@MakeUSAVAT @pieck411 @alt_ccc And as I have stated that depends on the elasticity assumptions used Many of the estimates which produce high revenue maximization rates use assumptions of very low elasticity. But people DO change their behaviour when tax rates change"

"@MakeUSAVAT @pieck411 @alt_ccc A single low rate keeps capital here instead of driving it offshore boosts investment + grows the tax base. And money in the hands of people who create businesses jobs + innovation does more for the economy than money pumped into gov't bureaucracy"

"@MakeUSAVAT @pieck411 @alt_ccc But we can cut them all. Taxes are too high in general and a simplified flat tax system would be beneficial. Government does not spend money as well as private individuals"
