Answer:
If I were placed in charge of the Mars colony then I would make it a lot different from what the Earth has. I would take the position of a progressive tax on income, I would make sure that everyone gets taxed based on how much they make. I would like to see everyone living in a peaceful society that doesn't scramble for money. I will add excise taxes for only the goods that aren't necessary, such as alcohol and tobacco, I personally want to put it on the things that harm humans so that way they might direct away from the toxic substances. I don't think I will incorporate sales taxes on Mars, there are so many poor people on Earth right now and I know for sure that when I pick something up in the store and it says a price I want it to be THAT price. I feel that sales taxes are kind of greedy and unnecessary. Property tax, on the other hand, is fairly important I will leave that. It funds things around the community and that is handy for expenses when something happens, such as a fire. I also think that I will leave out VAT taxes on goods, I think that people should have less to worry about when they pick something up and look at the price, it shouldn't be an estimated price and then taxes added later.
