We need fair taxation and to get that we need to move it away from the government to an arm's length commission which sets tax according to assets, preferably at 10% across the board. That would make it impossible for corporations to lobby and donate to parties for reduced taxes.
As well, sources need to be reviewed: new ones added like the Robin Hood tax and some situations ought to have taxes reduced. And the convoluted system we have now is ridiculous and obfuscated; it needs to be simple and straightforward, not giving you something here but taking it back over there.
The middle class, or what's left of it, is paying for the gap in revenue created by those who give the most to the ruling party with which they acquire more votes. If this whole institution was removed from the government and fair and equitable assessments were enforced by law, it would change the way campaigns are run and we are taxed. Both would be far more equitable.
Of course, it would take some real political integrity to table the bill and not something this ruling party would be anxious to do. But, we can lobby, too.
