Holistic Taxation

Holistic Taxation

A taxation system shall be established whereby all human activities and consumption can be quantified and compared against a yardstick—and therefore taxed accordingly.

Taxes shall be implemented that assess the true impact to the world (and thereby society). Thus over-packaging, junk mail, and technologies that relay on hydrocarbons shall be heavily taxed with the added benefit of making sustainable technologies more affordable than destructive ones.

An entirely new, simplified, incremental, flat tax structure will be established to ensure all persons pay their fair share of taxes.

If you are interested in assisting to develop these programs, please contact Jin with some of your initial ideas and/or sample works. Here are 10 initial ideas to get started!

1. Carbon Footprint Tax

– Objective: Impose taxes on businesses and individuals based on their carbon emissions. Companies that rely heavily on fossil fuels will face higher tax rates, incentivizing the shift toward renewable energy sources.

– Focus: Reducing carbon emissions, promoting renewable energy.

2. Over-Packaging Penalty Tax

– Objective: Implement heavy taxes on companies that use excessive packaging for their products, particularly single-use plastics. This tax will encourage businesses to adopt more sustainable packaging alternatives.

– Focus: Waste reduction, eco-friendly packaging.

3. Hydrocarbon Technology Tax

– Objective: Tax technologies that rely on hydrocarbons, such as gasoline-powered vehicles, oil-based machinery, and certain industrial processes. This tax will help accelerate the transition to cleaner energy solutions like electric and hydrogen-based technologies.

– Focus: Energy sustainability, reducing reliance on hydrocarbons.

4. Junk Mail & Paper Waste Tax

– Objective: Tax businesses that produce unsolicited mail or contribute to excessive paper waste. The aim is to reduce environmental harm caused by paper overproduction and encourage digital alternatives.

– Focus: Waste reduction, digital transformation.

5. Resource Depletion Tax

– Objective: Implement taxes on industries that deplete natural resources such as water, forests, and minerals. Companies that use non-renewable resources unsustainably will be taxed to reflect the long-term impact of their practices.

– Focus: Resource conservation, sustainability.

6. Technology Obsolescence Tax

– Objective: Tax companies that produce technology with planned obsolescence, meaning products designed to fail or become obsolete quickly. The tax encourages the production of durable, long-lasting technologies.

– Focus: Sustainable technology, reducing e-waste.

7. Energy Inefficiency Tax

– Objective: Apply taxes to homes, businesses, and industries with poor energy efficiency, incentivizing retrofitting buildings with energy-saving technologies like solar panels, insulation, and efficient appliances.

– Focus: Energy efficiency, conservation.

8. Flat Incremental Tax System

– Objective: Establish a simplified flat tax system with incremental rates based on income and consumption. This structure ensures fairness, where higher consumers and those causing more environmental damage pay a larger share.

– Focus: Fair taxation, simplicity.

9. Waste Management Tax

– Objective: Tax industries and municipalities that fail to meet sustainable waste management standards. Encourages investment in recycling, composting, and circular economy practices.

– Focus: Waste reduction, circular economy.

10. Luxury Consumption Tax

– Objective: Heavily tax luxury goods and services that have a large environmental impact, such as private jets, yachts, and excessive resource use in luxury industries. This tax reflects the disproportionate ecological footprint of high-end consumption.

– Focus: Environmental equity, reducing excessive consumption.
