42 sats \ 8 replies \ @Coinsreporter OP 6h \ parent \ on: Stealth corporate 'tax' hike could be what the US needs econ
Yes, every anarcho capitalist would argue for a tax free state. I'm sure there are few..
Even a great big statist like @SimpleStacker might agree with that Rothbard point. ;)

Hey, I'm only the second biggest statist on SN. The biggest is @Cje95... he literally works for the feds
Rothbard was mostly right when he said that the level of taxation matters more than the form of taxation.
Is this a Rothbard thing? I thought we all learn this in Econ 101
reply
@Cje95 isn't an economist. Clearly, you're the most statist economist here (and probably only here).
No, it's not a Rothbard exclusive. It's just a point he would often make when political debates got really focused on comparing forms of taxation.

lol I have no idea what I’ve been drug into but I swear I’m innocent! I just relay what the halls of Congress are talking about!
Though if you use the practically obsolete definition of it “ A statesman; a politician; one skilled in government.” I will say I would be one of the top people here for that 🫡

Take it as you like. SimpleStacker was just feebly trying to deflect.

And even a peasant or plumber or any low income person wouldn't argue the state for corporate taxes if he gets 100% tax rebate on his income.

Right, but that's why understanding tax incidence is important.

Most people are dumb in the world, and more than most are dumb in India.
I'm completely against any forms of taxes levied on public or on businesses by government. Am I anarchist? No, I'm not against the state or government. I'm just saying that the state or government should earn for themselves by using the resources like land and international trade they have got under their belt.
Taxation in any form is just a pick pocket way.
