The Extra Bathroom Tax
Before I arrived at the second home tax I was thinking about an extra bathroom tax. In fact I was even a bit more radical than that. We have lots of spare bedrooms and spare bathrooms.We have about a half a million homeless people in America by recent estimates. The answer is clear, we should tax the extra rooms or let the homeless move into them. This is a very progressive and caring idea. For many the virtue signaling reward from having a homeless man living in the spare bedroom will more than offset the inconvenience.
Some people will object so we can let them pay a tax. Perhaps $100 per year for the first extra bedroom or bathroom and and increasing rapidly after that. So that a couple living in a four bedroom, four bathroom house would pay about $3000 a year in “Help the Homeless Tax.”
Estimated revenue after we caught all of the cheaters: 15 Billion Dollars.
