Disputatio:Tributum progressivum

Argentum means silver... tax is vectigal, -is n.--Ioshus ^(disp) 04:31, 11 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC) Also, why is Progressivum capitalized.
And while we're at it, I'm not sure this is the best word... per gradus maybe better.--Ioshus ^(disp) 04:35, 11 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I knew that Argentum meant money/silver, however I thought it was commonly understood as tax because of Regum IV 15:20 in the Vulgate. I'll change it now. Alexanderr 04:35, 11 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)

P.S. Why did you delete this from the Oeconomia page? Rolandus told me to do that so it won't be an orphaned page.

I explained why I deleted it in my edit summary. It is not understood from the vulgate. Vectigal per gradus, I would say.--Ioshus ^(disp) 04:37, 11 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)

The last sentence means "Most often, [it] is imposed via tax on income" now can I ask for a literal translation of your revision of my first sentence? I can't understand a word. ;-) Alexanderr 04:58, 11 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)

"...is a tax, the rate of which increases as increases the wealth of the peopler in which the tax is imposed." (to tax" is "vectigal imponere")--Ioshus ^(disp) 05:34, 11 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)

Also why is augescere in the future tense indicative tense? Why not the passive present or simply the present (is increased/increases)? Alexanderr 05:28, 11 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)

Typo.--Ioshus ^(disp) 05:34, 11 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)

de nomine

Bear in mind, I know nothing of roman tax laws, of which there is ample writtenrecord, so there may be a proper name for this already.--Ioshus ^(disp) 04:45, 11 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)
