A Crash Course in Economics

When you look at an abstracted form of the econmical scale. For this example with 3 points: Poor, middle and rich. The poor group dosn't have all that much to spend. The middle class spends most of it's disposable income. The rich have money to spare and usually save large portions of it. This allows the rich to get richer. But the rich usually have sources of income so they keep getting money. Think about where this money comes from.. Since our economic system is ultimatly based on physical resources, be they iron, patrolium, silica or whatever. These resources are available in a finite amount so the injection of resources into the economy is limited. The only gain is from the sun.. But we lose a large portion of that to entropy. So the gain the rich are experencing must come for a large portion from the internal system.. ie other rich, middle class or poor. In practice this seems to take from the middle class, since the poor don't have that much to take. This results in a massive split in the income of the majority of the population. The mean is usually the same the median drops. This split is a charicteristc of a class of countries we know as the third world. So why this rant after you're flat tax rate rant? Well a flat tax rate would permote the split (which is being documented in the United States of America). No lets look at the brackets from a numerical point of view. I'll pick the unrealistic values of 10 000, 100 000, 1 000 000 for the sake of an argument. Also I'll pick a tax rate of 10%. So the taxes will be 1000, 10000, 100000. While each class is paying the income of the one below, the poor are left with 9000 compared to 90000 and 900000. And let me tell you some thing it's much easier to "waste" 9000 on food than 900000. The greater net income for the upper class allows it to save more. This bring the scenario I outlined above into play. A graduated tax system lowers the rate at which it splits by giving the poor a break and taking a little more from the people who can afford it. The taxes can then be used to pay for large scale projects which benifit society as a whole. Allowing the resources to be redistributed.
Before the supporters of a flat tax rate disregard me with a "he's leftist, kill the commmie bastard" think about what I said. I also encourage the supporters of a multi-tier tax system to think of problems with that sort of system, cause nothings perfect. Although most of the arguments against is along the lines of I get more money from a flat tax rate.. Give me a good counter argument for the flat rate system and I'll listen.
Look at the reasons that something is done, try to look at it from other perspectives. If you still see an insurmountable problem, try to find a solution. Who knows maybe it'll filter to someone who will implement it.
