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.
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.
It is a good move.

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.

It’s a sales tax on everything produced or with raw materials from outside the US
Is this sarcasm? I’m asking sincerely, because it sounded like you’re advocating for flat taxes.
Theyre not advocating flat tax, theyre advocating changing the name. “Its not a tax, its a fee.” That fee can still be proportional
Okay, I get it now. Still, I’m not a big fan of proportional fees. What if we went with fractional charges instead?
