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

Like of the people in the US, which side hates the rich more?

Do you respect them or do you envy them

the entitled people hate the rich because they want it for themselves

That sort of thing

I didn't mean to come off as "the rich are the sources of all of our problems!" kind of person. I am just saying that I don't trust companies any more than I trust the government.

all profit for no work

you really can't hate the rich, they work hard and then work even harder to understand what to invest in, you have to be smart to gain that kind of money
