Thriveability

Why They Should “Pay their Fair Share” of Taxes.

The 3 Functions of All Governments:

Repair, Maintain, Improve, and Promote Wealthsphere Conditions
that Allow Individuals and Entities to Thrive.
Collect Funds to Afford these Condition Bolstering Efforts.
Establish the Relationships Between 1 and 2.

The 4 Differences Between Governments:

Whose Wealthspere Conditions Are Bolstered.
How Bolstering Costs Are Shared.
Who Decides 1 & 2.
Whether Information About 1, 2 & 3 Is Revealed.

Fair Share of Taxes

noun metaphor

Tax Rates on Par with Conditions Bolstered.
High tax rates for tremendous wealthsphere individuals and entities offset how much more the government SPENDS to repair, maintain, improve and promote their complex wealthsphere conditions due to the increased frequency, variety and volume of services necessary for them to thrive.

“Safe passage shipping lane conditions are maintained by the U.S. Navy.”
“Contract enforcement conditions maintained by the Department of Justice.”
“Trade treaty international commerce conditions maintained by State Dept.”

Economic Inequality is not when one group of individuals or entities has more money than another group of individuals or entities. It’s the shift of wealthsphere conditions away from one group of individuals or entities without their knowledge or permission, and/or the shifting of wealthsphere bolstering costs to them via inappropriate tax rates.

All Governments Are Born from Someone’s Desire to Bolster Their Conditions.

You may not have a use for EVERY government service, but joint funding of condition bolstering -material AND intangible- results in a sum of better wealthspere conditions for each of us than we could bolster for ourselves individually. The U.S. Constitution is based on that potential.

Two “small” examples demonstrate how government bolsters thriveability conditions:
1. The U.S. Navy maintains commercial shipping lane conditions. 2. N.I.S.T., the National Institute of Standards and Technology (Department of Commerce) ensures that everyone’s weight, size, and time measurements are identical. Packets, yields, and schedules match up because everyone has the same “ounce”, “acre” and “second”.

Our government repairs, maintains, improves and promotes thriveability conditions a lot.
Tremendous wealthsphere individuals and entities benefit a lot because of it.

As individual or entity wealthspheres grow larger (and more complex), they require government condition bolstering with greatly increased frequency, variety and volume compared to small wealthsphere individuals or entities.

Such regularity makes this tremendous bolstering almost invisible to our daily observance. However, these conditions are so important, it turns out that most laws are either about which
conditions are bolstered, who benefits, or how the funding burden is shared.

Voter enfranchisement or suppression is always about whose conditions are bolstered and who pays for it. So is all the lobbying. (Tax rates themselves are wealthsphere conditions.) The reason why higher tax rates are appropriate for large wealthsphere individuals and entities is not because they have more. Or make more.

Higher tax rates offset how much more the government SPENDS to repair, maintain, improve and promote their complex wealthsphere condtions.

Large, complex wealthsphere individuals or entities with inappropriately low tax rates simply shift their highly complex bolstering costs onto smaller wealthsphere individuals and entities. Meanwhile, the bolstering fund is starved such that conditions degrade for the very folks who STILL pay taxes that bolster tremendous individual and entity wealthsphere conditions.

In short, “Fair Share” Means:
“Tax Rates on par with Conditions Bolstered.”
