I believe so. Do you have any examples where it doesn't?
People care more about the here and now than about the future. Fact of life.
This is based on what? has there been any study confirming that people care more about here and now?
What do you suggest?
progressive taxation for example.[/b]
If it applies to all types of taxes equally, what is your preference based on? First you say we shouldn't have high inheritance tax because that would discourage working. Next you say all taxes discourage working equally. Which is it? These are mutually exclusive viewpoints.

Yes. Quite many.
progressive taxation for example.
Care to elaborate?

It applies to all types of taxes, but it depends on what rate we're talking about.
Obviously, inheritance tax is preferred because it affects people more directly than say, corporate tax.
Yes, they do have the potential to do that, if they're too high.
Yes. Quite many

Well, corporate tax reduces the amount of jobs companies can offer and affects incomes of people that way.
How high is "too high"? How do you quantify this? Can you empirically verify this "boundary"?

I'm sure you can find lots if you look for them.
don't you know what progressive taxation is?
Yes, I do, but what do you want to do with progressive taxation?

Yes, Im aware of that, but it wouldn't have great effect on people if the tax rate is reasonable, Im not talking about extreme examples.
I'd say that for example, anything above 50% could be considered too high.
How could I do that?
I'm sure you can find lots if you look for them.
so in other words you don't have any.
Yes, I do, but what do you want to do with progressive taxation?
increase the percentage rate for those who can afford more.
