The responsible ones would build a nest egg, untouched by taxes, then make purchases befitting their lifestyle of choice.

We can still do all of that, even with an income tax.

Not really. You'd think you can, but what ends up happening is the creation of loopholes, and the corruption of incentive.

Yeah, you can. If you're not, it just means you're spending more than you earn.

Do you put $5000 each year into a Roth IRA? It's tax deductible, can be tax-free when matured, and is a perfect example of a "loophole" that incentivizes people to build a nest egg for their retirement.

How many people do you think do that? You're completely missing Listo's point that more people would save if they had more of their own money to save.

Not enough people do it. People just don't save. It's not the government's fault.

****ing people. We'd have a utopia if it weren't for them.

Poor defenseless government being castigated on their account. Why won't people just leave the poor government alone?
