on a very pragmatic, practical, less conceptual level.

there are organizations, jobs, degrees that are centered around determining the worth of labor. its not an easy thing to figure out. you cant prioritize it based on morally what you think is right. its a very objective process oftentimes.

2020-03-11 21:01:47 UTC  

a lot of higher paying jobs are mentally laborious because mental labor at higher levels provides a lot more value than hammering nails all day.

Is it true 50% of households in the US pay 0 federal tax?

2020-03-11 21:07:08 UTC  

lol can you be more specific with that? I want to say the bottom 50% pays about 2.38% of the federal tax revenue. i could definitely be wrong though.

interestings, didnt know there was a threshold that lets you...not pay fed taxes

2020-03-11 21:14:03 UTC  

well right away i'm confused. 76 million people isnt 44% of the population but maybe im reading it wrong. but there are some households that i think qualify for being tax exempt

2020-03-11 21:15:14 UTC  

i think its usually poorer people.

2020-03-11 21:16:35 UTC  

good points

2020-03-11 21:17:28 UTC  

tax stats, laws and data are always a headache.

2020-03-11 21:21:00 UTC

2020-03-11 21:22:14 UTC

@andy yes. The bottom 49% of the US pay zero federal tax

2020-03-11 21:28:22 UTC  

if we become full blown socialist, the best rebellion strategy could be to just become an absolute sandbag of a human being. its my right to get free stuff so i want my comrades to do the same.

2020-03-11 21:28:23 UTC  

Bottom 49% of workers or the population including kids and babies?

2020-03-11 21:28:38 UTC

2020-03-11 21:29:10 UTC  

another disturbing figure is that 51% of the US population is on the government dole in some form or fashion, whether government, military, social security, or welfare.
