    It is a good move.

    Tax everything that way.
    It isn’t property tax, just a utility fee based on the size and value of a building.
    It isn’t an income tax, but a fee added when money leaves the account of a corporation.

    Edit: I am not arguing for a flat tax. I am sarcastically proposing we call all taxes something else.

      Nah this is too close to a flat tax rate or a consumption tax which the ultra rich always push for because you only get taxed if you spend money.

        Thats not what theyre saying. Theyre just saying “dont call it a tax, call it a fee” because that seems to be ok. Hence why the property example was a fee based on size and value. It’s not flat.

        Theyre not advocating flat tax, theyre advocating changing the name. “Its not a tax, its a fee.” That fee can still be proportional
