is it that bad?
yes @GingaBomber
you don't get charged taxes for fresh fruits, veggies, meats, and other basics
I'm really not too familiar with our tax system, myself. Sometimes you overpay and get more money back, sometimes you get a phone call from the IRS telling you that you owe them 5000 dollars.
in the US it depends on the state
State plays a part, yeah.
So different tax brackets per state?
I assumed the US had the same in every state?
abd if you don't pay enough they send you to jail till you pay it off
Like with that new tax plan.
Like, food items altogether are not taxed in California, whereas in Georgia only *fresh* food items are not taxes, if I remember correctly. Even if I am not, it's along those lines.
I assumed it will be implemented in every state
there is a federal tax nation wide then there is a state level then a city level
Ah I see
I'm not too familiar with th enew tax plan, either. lol
How the fuck man. So the average man for example. Of the money he recieves, how much of it goes to the govt?
so why tax our money so much?
Dunno really, I only heard good things of the new plan
about 30-40% by the end of the year
But then I already said I listen to more conservative sources
Well, it doesn't seem like a lot at face value, but if you actually add it all up some people can get taxed as high as about... I think 45%?
Thats almost european level of taxes.
With none of the benefits. lol
if you own property it is worse than renting
I mean, they should probably treat the govt like a buisness, if you want people to willingly give you money, provide a better service.
and a 20t debt
Instead of forcing everyone to pay the higher taxes.
And giving tax reductions to the wealthy.
that is why I say a one sales tax... no income tax no property tax... simple math
Which sounds good on paper, but it requires us to just "trust" that the companies/corporations will use that money to actually provide jobs instead of just pocketing it.
I mean, penalizing companies for going overseas was kinda one step
the tax deductions are about the same accross the board
Or providing incentives to those who stay
And if you trust the wealthy to not just pocket the money, you have far more faith in them than I do lol.
Well... I am from a wealthy family here so I kinda do.
rich don't become rich by hoarding
I know, it's through investing.
they become rich by investing and keeping the money fresh
And i can say, they just happened to work really hard and invested intelligently.
Maybe its the perspective some people have of the rich?
yes
