e.g. You own:
1x House
3x Commercial Plot
1x Industrial Plot

You'd only pay under around $1000 for 5 plots over the course of a month.

This bill reduces balance tax income one hundredfold. The issue it is trying to solve with the balance tax is a misunderstanding of how to read a percentage. The highest tax bracket's tax rate is written at 0.60% daily which is NOT equal to 60% daily. The percentage is 0.6, not 60. It is already written as a percentage. Even if we were to abolish UBI entirely, we would be running a deficit of at least $200k monthly. This bill is beyond financially irresponsible and I cannot sign it.
