I made a good amount of money last year, Paid a round 100k in taxes... cant event get a doctors apointment... I fucking hate when they ask for more and more and more

well our tax system is a bit different

amount other things we have a 25% VAT on most services...

I sell programming services, so when I sell a service I first pay the 25VAT then I pay income tax on top of that

There are differnent tax brackets

Its 39,8% at the highest I think...

But we have a lot of indirect taxsation...

45 issnt it?

(100 *0.75)*0.6

no the income tax would just be one the revenue or the profit after expenses

Most people would say that we are a : Social democracy

But we have State capitalism

We have the world largest Sovern wealth fund

https://www.nbim.no/

Bigger than china as well 😮

But its mostly oil money poured into free markets, a stroke of absolute brilliance or pure luck

Im a android guy

@Malachi The taxes collected are way more than the taxes he paid...

@Captain_Rogers amen

you are not making a good argument

I want freedom

Can someone take up this thread...

On the flip side what if you invest all your savings into something and it fails, should the guvernement refund your losses, since they are clearly okay with taking a cut if it succeeds?

@Captain_Rogers yes 👍 100%

@Katelyn Would you want the government to implement the solution?

@Captain_Rogers I'm with you, yiiiikes

@Katelyn I think thats the point, its very difficult to forseee the consequence of certain actions

Its a failsafe

Why?

yes

to other people who might use the money to do something usefull

@Delta yes, freedom ftw

I have a friend that have a bit of debt, she cant get a loan because there are some rules here in norway that prevent here for taking a loan to refinance...
