I'm taking all comers here. I'm setting this up, but I don't necessarily want to run the show. I have no idea how to run a political party, and I'm not even sure how to campaign, get on ballots, get coverage or anything like that.

But I'm tired of the rich shitting on us, and it's time we shat back.

First and Foremost, this is just our lemmy community. Soon, I'm going to want to set up a website, get registered with whatever body we need to register with, and start ballot initiatives and field candidates wherever we can.

Let's fucking go.

personally I like the net income = s * sqrt(gross income / s + 1) curve as it provides a universal basic income, with an incentive to work, naturally guides incomes downwards, and all as a single easily configurable parameter you can use to fit to any arbitrary taxation amount, it might be better to get more granular control, but as far as 'janky patch solutions on top of capitalism' go I think it works well enough for how simple it is

This would be more taxes on the lowest income earners if you don’t put in a tax-free threshold. Will there still be deductions for things like dependents?

[–] AdrianTheFrog 3 points 1 day ago

It depends on the scaling threshold but where s=30k, it crosses over at around 50k

Its not of an income thing than a tax thing, if you earn no money you will still get an income of s$

Personally, I fscking love it.

But I need help with the math. Where in the equation is the velocity of the shit I am expelling on rich people?

So, I know you know, but tell us how this equation shits on rich people.

It’s not all that extreme but with an s of 30k someone who would be earning 20 million now earns 775k, you would also have to take into account benefits, stocks, etc I’m sure

I’m now leaning towards s*log2(x/s+2), it behaves a bit better towards the higher ends imo (280k at 20m and 381k at 200m)

If you want to decouple the starting income and income scale you could use s*logb(x/s+b)

here's a curve you can play around with, if you had a dataset with the number of people making each income you could balance it in whatever way would be ideal
