I dislike tax on essensial items. (Basic houseing, basic food, water)
I dislike any form of universal or poll tax. (council tax!)
I fully support tax as penalty (alcohol, car, tabacco, pollution etc)
I am still undecided about industrial, and other buisness tax as I don't understand buisness economics as well as I should.
I have no problem with transaction tax (inheritance, import/export etc)
Finaly, I am all for luxery tax (electronics, media and all other non-essensial items)
One should be able live with out paying any tax as long as you lead a spartan life. No one should have to live below that standard because of lack of support.
I don't belive that anyone should earn more than is proportional to the work they do either, but that is wishful thinking.
