Floating and
Variable Tax Rate/Regulation
Government
social networking of tax regulations should be at least as realistic
as that of market and currency values. Markets and government can
write programs to interpret and paradigmatize responses through fuzzy
logic regarding the making of decisions concerning the tax value axis
of opportunity and recalcitrance. Instead of putting sanctions on an
unfriendly nation as if it were gunboat diplomacy an executive could
just raise the tariff rate for it or withhold a discount while giving
a discount to a rival with a keyboard entry.
At
some point late in the 20th century business and
government speed of finance had a break. Business continued to
accelerate and became multi-national while government remained static
though forming a few international agreements that would ossify
rather than modernize taxation in favor of business. Government
became the slow attorney led legalistic anachronism while
speed-of-light business gaming international for profit became
normalized. What can be done to reform the business-government tax
relationship in order to reinforce values of democracy and the
interests of the majority of Americans rather than a few elite global
concerns?
Individuals
in the United States are primarily segregated with financial leverage
and poverty. Good politics recognizes poverty as a method of
segregation domestically. Individual remedies to poverty might be
accomplished with good legislation that rewards those hiring the most
poor and longest out of work. With fixed rate instead of variable
rates of taxation internationally it is difficult to increase
national prosperity or to readily use tax policy for a tool of
foreign policy. The very wealthy are enabled with tax ossification to
scheme how to exploit global loopholes as an element of their
business model. That unfairly punishes the poor and middle class for
not being so globally doggy.
Maybe
ideas about tax rates and economics are a little anachronistic in the
era of instant global communication. In the old days before the WWW
bureaucrats might get tax tables from congress and distribute the
data globally so accurate tariffs and etc could be got. Now a
president Trump could have a menu of current tax rates
internationally and enter numbers any day of the year with instant
global distribution if Congress that.
First Americans; especially those
bent toward the left, misunderstood the history of nationalism. In
error they believed nationalism was the cause of the major wars of
the 20th
century rather than powerful absolutist rulers. Ending nations throw
the baby out with the bathwater and concentrates p0ower better for
global autocrats.
Second American globalists felt
that nations were anachronistic because world trade and commerce were
developing with fast means of global production and shipping
anyplace. Actually the instant speed of computer network
communication would allow each nation to set its own tax and trade
rates and implement them without delay. In a sense taxation could be
used realistically with the same sort of speed that dark pool and
high-speed quantitative trading has on Wall Street perhaps leveling
the field a little better for democracy and the average citizen on
the street.
Brexit
was a case in point; instead of returning to an Adam Smith era tariff
relation to the E.C. Britain can remain in contact Europe and trade
taxations, schedules etc with real-time inter-government social
networking rate setting. The idea that it should require a decade for
merry old England to get its Charles Dickens like scriveners to pen
new trade orders on dusty books is a little hoary.
Vat,
Gatt and all that sort of thing as well as business tax rates should
be innovated with real-time floating values that reflect social
values and needs. It might require some economists and
political-economic theorists to get in a few overtime hours, however
upgrading methods of trade and business taxes to a standard as quick
as the floating rate of the dollar and Wall Street trading might be
useful.
