Nobody should be taxed
How would we pay for police, fire service etc.
The state of Washington pays for all that from big companies. .. Boeing and Microsoft comes to mind
Really, good for them if they manage that but I would imagine it would stop big companies setting up there, I mean why should they pay everyone’s tax.
I was once told the State of Alaska give all residents a yearly lump sum, not sure if it’s true or not. From oil money apparently.
the state of alaske DOES pay dividends from a private corporation trust fund to all of its citizens who permanently live there,from revenue collected from the oil companies called the Permanent Fund Dividend [PFD] for the damage that they are doing to the land,the wildlife,and its ecology,and for the oil that the companies are exporting out of the state,which will no longer be there for the future generations of alaskans to have the use of.
the payment can be up to a couple of thousand dollars per person,but,the cost of living up there is so high that it is just a drop in the bucket,but the residents do not have to pay any personal income tax on their earnuings....
everything all comes from the PFD.
it would be nice if we had the same thing down here in the lower 48,paid for by the huge corporations that infect our land,and use up all of its resources,but it will never happen,cuz they have too many lobbyists paying for their own private politicians in their pockets to write laws to make sure that they dont have to pay hardly ANY taxes,and that the little people carry the brunt of the weight of paying to run our country.
The PFD was set up before the lobbyists got the stranglehold on our government that they have now.
