Everyone pays the same, that is what a fixed tax amount is, imagine what effect that would have on you, knowing in advance how much you have to pay in tax regardless of you're wealth. Lets imagine for a minute what a fixed tax rate would look like, suppose you're a king and you don't want to spend too much on tax collection, but you need to fund your army and a small police force, what do you do. Is having to calculate every individuals tax amount wise, think of the man hours spent doing that. So what is the solution? The solution is charging each citizen a fix amount each month to fund you're army and police force.
| Population | Tax amount | Total revenue |
|---|---|---|
| 500,000 | 55 $ / month | 27,500,000 $ |
| 500,000 | 660 $/ year | 330,000,000 $ |
US
| Population | Tax amount | Total revenue |
|---|---|---|
| 310,000,000 | 160 $ / month | 49,600,000,000 $ |
| 310,000,000 | 1920$/ year | 595,200,000,000 $ |
House of 5 would pay 9600$ / year
US GOV
| Population | Tax amount |
|---|---|
| FBI BUDGET | $9,502,400,000.000 |
| DEFENSE BUDGET | $585,000,000,000.00 |
| TOTAL | $594,502,400,000.000 |
Of course the US (overkill ) doesn't have to pay that much on defense so the tax amount could be much less.
