The population as a whole shouldn't matter, since a bigger population would -in theory- give a proportionate amount in taxes. The issue here is people on welfare/jobless, and illegals who avoid paying taxes.
I mean I remember enjoying his books.
People who avoid taxes yet still benefit from the system.
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if the number was higher in the US than in other countries, but that's a failure in enforcing tax codes and from deductions/subsidies.
if anything the US should go to a One-Tax system where the only tax is sales tax on non-consumables
then there is no way to avoid taxes
and I mean tax non-food items
I mean, I didnt want to buy into the hysterian, like when everythings so shit, that you have the delusion that anythign could be better.
you have to tax everything, or else you loose more than you gain
Well, there's also the fact that the US can most definitely be spending it's tax dollars better, no argument here.
We have over 800 military bases around the world, for example.
We don't need that many.
And well, that there are alot of inefficiencies in the system
how many times does your money get taxed?
The wall is one such solution
Several.
I am pro-wall
Taxes are taken out on income, and every time you buy/sell an item.
Well, being here makes you altright lol
why tax a dollar several times? instead charge it once and be done
here, we pay 13 cents on every dollar spent, and we have income tax taken off that we get back later
I heard that you pay an amount and they decide to tell you later whether or not you paid enough
in the Us
but we have taxes on everything except for fresh food items
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?
