She still chips in with the housework even though I'm unemployed (unless you count my small business.)

2018-11-06 19:40:57 UTC  

I'd say as long as you're not fucking useless, being a stay-at-home spouse isn't bad.

2018-11-06 19:41:05 UTC  

true

2018-11-06 19:41:08 UTC  

Marriage is a partnership

2018-11-06 19:41:21 UTC  

I mean, I moved here with a year in savings and actual income coming in too from my last semester of uni

2018-11-06 19:41:23 UTC  

and partnerships only work when all parties pull their own weight.

2018-11-06 19:41:25 UTC  

IE: Jan to May

2018-11-06 19:41:31 UTC  

Moved here on Christmas 2017

2018-11-06 19:41:36 UTC  

Only now is my savings getting low

2018-11-06 19:41:39 UTC  

But fuck Euro-tax.

2018-11-06 19:41:42 UTC  

Most immigrants don't have savings or income actually coming in

2018-11-06 19:41:55 UTC  

Yeah they tried to mistakenly tax, my tax exempt vet stipend for disability

2018-11-06 19:41:56 UTC  

My friend told me his experience when he went to Denmark

2018-11-06 19:42:04 UTC  

~40% effective.

2018-11-06 19:42:04 UTC  

They tried to tax my fucking VA payments

2018-11-06 19:42:07 UTC  

lol

2018-11-06 19:42:17 UTC  

Not surprised in the least.

2018-11-06 19:42:37 UTC  

"You dumb niggers, it's a vet stipend for serving the U.S. They don't even tax that in the U.S. What legal claim does Sweden have to another countries vet benefits?"

2018-11-06 19:42:49 UTC  

All of a sudden, my Swedish bank has stopped charging for it and it should no longer is a tax issue on my tax returns

2018-11-06 19:42:51 UTC  

🤔

2018-11-06 19:43:18 UTC  

Made me almost blow a gasket

2018-11-06 19:43:38 UTC  

Worst part, if it wasn't for a fucking Clinton, I'd be getting assfucked even more

2018-11-06 19:43:46 UTC  

So I gotta actually thank a Democrat for once. Bill's tax treaty from 1994 formed the basis of FATCA under Obama for the U.S-Sweden agreement.

2018-11-06 19:44:32 UTC  

If that special document didn't exist, I'd be getting charged Swedish and U.S tax

2018-11-06 19:44:41 UTC  

Hey, not *everything* on the left is bad.

2018-11-06 19:44:56 UTC  

Well no but, Clinton isn't rays of sunshine

2018-11-06 19:45:07 UTC  

There might be like... one or two things I can agree with.

2018-11-06 19:45:34 UTC  

Basically, if the tax treaty didn't exempt my first 100k made overseas per year in Sweden, I'd be getting my rate of taxes from the U.S on top of the 30% I already have here

2018-11-06 19:45:40 UTC  

So it'd be between 47-50%

2018-11-06 19:46:04 UTC  

But, I also shouldn't praise Clinton too much. This wouldn't be an issue if Obama didn't make FATCA.

2018-11-06 19:46:15 UTC  

We're the only country in the world to charge overseas income for tax purposes, it's blatant theft.

2018-11-06 19:46:38 UTC  

As it pays for military, fire, ems, all your services, etc. Well, if my house burns down here, obviously the U.S isn't gonna fly a fucking fireplane over the Atlantic to save my ass

2018-11-06 19:46:38 UTC  

All taxation is theft.

2018-11-06 19:46:57 UTC  

Nor if the Muslims cause the great (((habbening))) the U.S army won't evac me and my family

2018-11-06 19:47:02 UTC  

So that shit does have me irate

2018-11-06 19:47:15 UTC  

That's pretty fucked, though.

2018-11-06 19:47:17 UTC  

I kinda hope the habbening happens though

2018-11-06 19:47:23 UTC  

Because, I will get to have a Dan Daly moment and stack muzzies like he stacked gooks

2018-11-06 19:47:54 UTC  

It's why all of those rich guys left the U.S as citizens in 2014, with their overseas bank accounts.

2018-11-06 19:48:31 UTC  

Makes sense.

2018-11-06 19:50:03 UTC  

Best part, I believe (though I may be wrong,) if you don't pay your exit tax equivalent of 10 years wage tax (which you don't have to as you're no longer a citizen at that point,) the U.S does not record you as giving up your citizenship
