 Now, some other questions that come up with relation to tax law that might not be as obvious are what is the purpose of government? Who should pay for government services? So what is just, what is fair, what do these terms even mean? Oftentimes people think of these kind of questions as possibly more interesting than tax law, than tax preparation, than tax code. What is the government for? What's the best kind of system? Should we be more capitalistic or should we be more communistic or socialistic type of business? Should the government be running more of the private sector? Should the government be distributing money in some type, way, shape or form? Those are kind of interesting questions that come up all the time, but again, they seem to come up in some kind of an abstract type of format. When you get down to the nitty gritty of it, when you get down to how, what does that actually work, taxes are going to play a crucial role in that as we've seen all the way through the founding of the United States, for example, which was primarily based on tax arguments, was one of the big topics as a colony. So when we get into the questions of, you know, how is a government taxing, it's going to touch in on a lot of these questions that people seem to think of as more interesting than taxation. So for example, in politics, you will often hear people using words such as just or fair to describe many different things and oftentimes to describe the tax system. They will say things like, we need to have a just tax system. We need to have a fair tax system. And learning more about tax law, I think will get us better at basically being able to pick out those keywords and trying to hone down on them and ask critical questions rather than having these broad blanket statements that are in essence meaningless. In other words, no one argues that you should not have a just tax system. No one argues that you should not have a fair tax system where the argument lies is, what does just mean with regards to taxation? What is fair mean with regards to taxation? So once you start learning what the taxes are actually doing, what the impacts they're having, what are the incentives that are being put in place with the tax code? Because that's what the tax code is being used for oftentimes. When you think about the types of credits that have been put in place, for example, what kind of behavior is the government trying to incentivize with the taxes that are being are being put in place? If people are saying that they want a just tax system or a fair tax system, then we need to get critical and say, what do you mean by just and fair? If the response of just and fair is something like, well, we need to take all the money into the federal government and then distribute it evenly or distribute it to the people that have the least to the most kind of thing, well, that sounds like a communist type of system, right? Or if you're saying that just or fair means that the people that are actually earning the money within the system, they're making things, then those are the people that possibly should be able to keep more of their money or something like that. Well, those type of people are arguing more for a capitalist type of system. So you can see the answer to these questions with regards to taxation are going to tell you what a lot of the questions about these vague terms that we kind of throw we throw around in terms of how big should the government be? Should we have more capitalist systems? What's a what should how much of a safety net should we have within within our system? All of that is tied into, of course, the taxation because the government doesn't actually produce things in general, right? The government is could be a force of redistribution is the is the general idea. So the question is, what should the government be in charge of? And again, we can really drill down on that by concentrating on some of the tax laws that go through.
