All the funding required for projects from the previous sections requires government funding which inevitably ties into the issue of tax collection. In order to actually put these programs into place along with new health care and educational programs, we must raise the income tax of each level by a considerable amount. However, a lot People seem to have the misunderstanding that lower taxes is always better and the government is simply out to steal their money. Yet when we examine GDP per capita instead of GDP, all the countries at the top of the list are replaced primarily by central and Northern European nations such as Sweden and Norway which are commonly known to have notoriously high income taxes up to 55%. Yet in addition to their high production efficiency, these countries have also topped the world’s average happiness rating for years. Their high income taxes allow the people of these countries to enjoy affordable health care systems, education and public services all funded by the government and the result of keeping its people happy are evident in their high production and low poverty rate. We can also see the effect happiness has on improving people’s morality. In order for a 55% income tax to be successful and sustainable, the highest-income class has to be willing and accepting of their role in funding society’s prosperity. Many will claim that this is impossible but what we see in these European nations is that the highest-income class take pride in helping to build their society and reduce the poverty rate. When we provide funding for research and development, the idea is not only to help them succeed and establish a business within our society but also to encourage them to be a part of actively improving our society. By increasing income tax rates, the higher tax returns from already established projects and businesses consequently allows us to fund new operations and help those in need from the lower work class. Once again, we stress the importance maintaining happiness throughout the population as we believe that happiness and materialistic fulfillment will not only drive people to work more diligently but also allow people to become more generous and cultivate their inner desire for goodness.
