No Spending, No Taxation or No Representation, No Taxation | From the Desk of Asif Nawaz

I wrote this paper in my junior year at university. I still believe that fair tax is probably the fairest and best way to go with today. Living in the UK, you really learn to appreciate the US tax system, fair or not, it certainly is a blessing compared to this country. In the UK, the government takes approximately 57.5% of your disposable income in the form of PAYE, National Insurance and VAT. There are other additional taxes and payments that are imposed on UK residents, with the net tax for some totalling about 65% of gross income earned. Is it just me, or does that reflect on the lack of the British people to protest? You decide!
