Taxation is theft.

How does anyone get by with the current crazy tax rates??

@Siedge Mostly we just spin our wheels and end up not far from where we started. OECD has a lot of interesting graphs, mainly it seems, people in highly taxed places just rack up debt.

And we sit around and let it happen and even worse idiots vote for it to happen. It feels like there's no point in even trying, your hard work ends up amounting to nothing.

@Siedge I'm with you, my man. But people have been convinced that when the gov't does something, it doesn't cost anything. They can't see the connection between "yay free stuff from the government!" and crushing taxation. The data has been out for decades, the higher the taxes, the less money people have to spend (and the higher their household debt grows). But no one wants to hear that. I don't think much can be done about it, but who knows.

So do we just sit and take it? Seriously. Someone self employed making less than 100k a year can be paying more than 40% in taxes. 40%!!!

@Siedge Heh, well, I'm Canadian so I pay about that in taxes and I make less than half of that working a regular job.

I'm just not sure what can be done, people voted for tyranny and got it in spades. I just drink on the weekends and try not to think about it.

Is that what we're reduced to? Is that what we've become. People talk about how men have become women. I agree, used to women got fucked, now were all getting fucked.

@Siedge Yeah pretty much. I like to think of it this way, at 40% tax, if you started working January 1st, you wouldn't be earning any money until about the 3rd week of April. So 40% of the time you work as a slave for the government. Doesn't sound like any definition of "freedom" that I would recognize. I know I certainly didn't agree to have anyone reach into my paycheck and take a chunk before I even got to see it.

Speaking of which, I need to go to sleep so I can wake up at 4am and slave away -- after all, I'm months away from earning anything for myself. yay.

@Siedge @saltorito It's not only the self-employed. Although the ostensible rates for under-100k salaried workers is less, an additional fraction of their income is removed through so-called "payroll tax".

@Siedge i believe in a progressive tax rate
10% income tax for the bottom 98%
80% wealth tax for the top 2%

@chara
If I were to agree with taxes. I'd believe in the same tax rate for everyone. Everyone should pay the same percentage.

Also the idea that the government ever needs more than 10% of someones money is ridiculous.

With income tax, property tax, unemployment tax, sales tax, and all the other taxes. You pay taxes so many times along the way. The united states didn't even used to have an income tax. It's all waste and the whole system keeps getting more and more wasteful.

Like that'll ever happen. We allow the bottom 20% of the population to drag us as far down as we can, and we gladly let them.

I'd rather just take all the wealth and reigns of power from the Jews and then eliminate social programs and income tax.
Seeing as we don't, CURRENTLY, live in a world where this can be done, becoming a communist dictatorship to starve the commies - which is most Jews and otherwise comprised of other undesirables - seems pretty legit. As we've seen with Russia once you get out it has the added benefit of slaying Liberalism too!
