Why do we allow poor faggots like you to post on Jow Forums?
Nice, that makes me feel better about the $50,000 a year job I just got.
I don't know how I lived on a penny less than this.
>college bleeding heart
>gets red pilled on first real job
like clockwork
I've been living a very comfortable life for the last three years on $18,000/year.
I've been a psycho ancap libertarian since I was 15.
>working
Well, there's your problem.
to pay soldiers to keep out the thieving horde coming our way
Honest question, what's it like making that kind of money? Do you live comfortably?
Because billionaires sure as fuck aren't going to pay taxes so pay up goy
This. You want there to be raping and pillaging bandits like in the olden days?
i just quit my $50k a year job and have no idea how im going to get another one ;_;
This makes me feel better about my 60k+ per year job.
I feel sometimes bad I should leave and find other work but I remember I've only been done with school a few months and this is actually really good for just out of school where I am.
go back to Somalia then, its tax free
>17%
How much taxes pay the company for you, aside from the 17 you pay?
This. Ancap retards don't realize they'd already be dead or sucking some warlord's cock if the government wasn't there to protect them.
Kill yourself Ancap manchild
>meanwhile 30 million mexicans are undercutting your wages, using social services, committing crimes, and not paying taxes
Thank you based military!
Serioulsy tho OP your estimate is really on the low end when you consider sales, property, gas, cigarette, and other taxes that state and local governments steal from you

Who paid for the roads you use to get to work?
Who makes sure the food you eat meets quality and health standards?
Who pays the cops that protects you from robbers?
Who pays for the judicial system so you can sue your workplace if they don't pay you for the time you spent working?
I can go on and on about all the necessary things the government does for us. It ain't perfect but you can't eat your cake and have it too. Taxes are necessary for the society we live in.
However, how much we're getting taxed and how that tax money is used is a whole another story..
>Who pays the cops that protects you from robbers?
They might catch criminals bu they won't protect from robbers, dumbass.
>Who paid for the roads you use to get to work?
the town or state
>Who makes sure the food you eat meets quality and health standards?
It should be up to the state, the FDA is incredibly bureaucratic and wasteful
>Who pays the cops that protects you from robbers?
The state
>Who pays for the judicial system so you can sue your workplace if they don't pay you for the time you spent working?
That would be a state court
My state taxes are 6.5%, the federal government are the ones taking 25%, plus social security which I will never see returns on, plus some other shit.
State, roads and judges is a small piece of the spending. Check your numbers and see how much unnecessary shit the state do. That's why minarchism is the GOAT ideology.
>check your numbers
>on Jow Forums
If the numbers don't agree with what we want to be true, we'll just make up new numbers
huh it happened opposite for me
>be ancap
>want to make as much money as possible, scam people and invest in shitcoins and other schemes
>finally make a lot of money in shitcoins, nearly 7 figures
>don't even know what to do with the money, realize it's pointless
>become socialist, want to give back wealth because can't feel happiness from money alone
Seriously you don't fucking need more than 1 million, what the fuck are these rich fucks doing?
You're right that's a bad analogy. My point is they're an incentive for people to not commit crimes and they're not free.
States get shit ton of federal funding though.
I was responding to op's claim that taxes are 'stolen' from us but we seem to forget that it's a necessity. And I stated earlier how much we're getting taxed and how it's used is a whole 'nother issue.
I agree user, we should be taxed way less. the amount we pay and the shit benefits we receive is maddening
Move to Quebec and pay 45%
>Seriously you don't fucking need more than 1 million, what the fuck are these rich fucks doing?
It's not for need it's for ego/status.
I make like 80k but when you convert it to usd its only like 56k
This makes me feel better about my 70k a year job
>income tax the fuck out
>medicaid tax
>social security tax
>work supposedly at 20/hr
why
damn, is it really that bad in Quebec? I pay like 30% with IE and other deductibles in Alberta
I already felt great about my 90k salary and 20k of stock options/bonuses a year.
c-can help me out with money user?
delet thes
>buh muh freeheffcare, buh muh francais
Nice, that makes me feel better about the $100,000 a year job I just got with 30k in stock options/bonuses a year.
I don't know how I lived on a penny less than this.
What state are you in?
>there are people on Jow Forums who make less than $200k a year in total comp
Phew, I was starting to think I was poor. I feel better now
Ahh, this makes me feel better about my $305k salary with $75k bonus. I honestly don't know how I lived on anything less than this.
I don't know how people can live with less than a $1.2m salary. Thanks for making me feel better.
