Found at my local gas station

I always thought this was correct gas station procedure

good evening

So my local media is trying to push a progressive tax policy by reframing our current tax structure as "regressive" because rich people buy less stuff.

wat

rich people still buy consumables like everyone else

Its oregon it makes sense

they dont need to poop

No, this is Washingtons tax system

no toilet paper

Oregon and Washington are 2 sides of same coin

So it's: Rich people buy less stuff relative to their income, so poor people are unfairly impacted by the universal tax structure, thus it is regressive

Every day another newspaper pops up in my feed pushing this narrative, all week

<:thronk:441701565607444482>

i think rich people buy less stuff is the actual solution to being poor

rich people spend less of their income is significantly more accurate

they're still spending more money overall than poor people

and thus paying more tax overall

especially if subject to income tax

Yes, but this isn't about "facts" this is about manipulating numbers to get your policy in place.

^ @Fitzydog

@turtwig There's no income tax lol

why people gotta be self destructive and dumb

@Fitzydog hence "if subject to"

we pay tax when we earn our money, we pay tax when we spend our money

we pay tax just for existing

I’m almost surprised you don’t have a tax for being white

I don't remember what the threshold is but if you earn over a certain amount here you pay 50% supertax on your income

rich people spend less of their income because theyre spending more of their time working <:makes_you_think:382980749780844554>

At the rate people are pushing progressive tax policies to make the system more “fair”

45% sorry

I'm almost excited for the economy to collapse at this point, so some of us can start over and codify tax rates at a permanent rate

45 percent is stupid

even if it is on money over 150k

where is this
