Humanity Party platform:

...

This is the exact opposite of what every reformist wants so definite Capitalist

Holla Forums thinks anyone that doesn't want to actively kill jews and blacks is a communist.

As for the party, it's just a unique proposal to imagine implement social democratic policies. Nothing communist about it, they even admit to wanting to keep private businesses.

I guess I get what you mean. I just now thought of the possibility of a progressive consumption tax. The higher the price of a good the higher the tax. Wouldnt that restore balance? Im too drunk to do maths

That wouldn't make the tax more progressive, it just makes expensive stuff more expensive. The only progressive taxes are ones that target property and income

The problem is less one of prices and more one of how much income as a % is spent in total, especially on things that get slapped with consumption tax.

I'm tired but my gut feeling is that if you link it to the price of the good you'd improve it slightly, but it'd still be regressive, since the poor spend a greater % of their income. Even in the UK where VAT is zero-rated on some key things like staple foods, it's still shit. In the case of costly goods, A poor man who saved for decades to buy an expensive TV being hit with the same addition to the price as a rich man. Or perhaps closer to home, a student blowing their student loans on a macbook being hit the same as someone who gets daddy the stockbroker to pay.

I always find it weird when people propose some tax system where only having/using the currency is taxed. Don't you want to ensure in some way that the currency is used to begin with? Because this is not something you can forever rely on to just happen. If a currency is backed by something, people have a reason to use it. A currency can be backed by real things in two ways: One is the well-known way that the currency-issuing entity guarantees go give you something in exchange for it, like gold. The other way is far more common, but for some crazy reason usually not talked about as a way of backing a currency: The state guarantees to fuck your shit up and take stuff from you unless you regularly give some of the currency to the state.

You can think of currency as a transferable anti-expropriation voucher, and once you see it that way, you will see proposals for taxation systems that would only tax ownership of these vouchers as very strange indeed: transferable anti-expropriation vouchers that only protect you against expropriation of these vouchers themselves. How to ensure that the currency is used then? If land owners have to regularly pay a tax in the currency or be expropriated, the currency is backed by an important resource.

oh yeah, public-private partnerships are literally gommunism :DDDDD

Progressive tax is when a tax is higher and higher in increments with brackets. Both income tax and corporate tax use a progressive tax system of brackets based on income and profits or at least that is how it is in the US.

Mornin', folks. I see some of you have concerns about the tax plan.
