I'm busy going through the political parties and what they have to offer and came across this from the ACDP.

10.2 - The ACDP is therefore committed to:

  • reducing government debt and spending;
  • job creation and economic growth through an open-market policy with as little government interference as possible;
  • becoming competitive in a global economy and a global market;
  • Lowering inflation;
  • State enterprise operating in open competition with private providers;
  • A flat-rate rate taxation of less than 10%;
  • Doing away with complicated tax forms, laws and expensive monitoring mechanisms.

If that's not worth a vote, I don't know what is. :D
 
Yea, everyone has good intentions. Road to purgatory is paved with good intentions.

While I would love the idea of paying only 10% tax, I don't know how on earth they can make it work. They simply won't get anywhere near enough revenue in.

More likely, if they have actually spoken to anyone who knows about macroeconomics, there would be a whole bunch of additional taxes, on a usage basis - like high fuel taxes.
 
i cant believe they can be so dumb as to make that one of their goals... seriously. 10%. while we're being optimistic, lets also go for interest free loans and a space program.
the government cant even deliver their promises now because they "have no money".
i doubt they'd be able to afford their merc's if they make tax anything below the current rate.

one idea i approve of - the simplification of tax laws. however, that would come at the cost of a loss of exemptions/rebates etc. and would probably involve paying more tax, so its maybe not such a good idea.
 
And we just going to design a spaceship and fly to the moon. We will use matchsticks, wool and wood glue. We will do this next month without any problems or hassles and complete it on time.
