That's fucking janitor money. You have to make at least $35 an hour full time just to take home a basic 50-60something thousand, enough to live a pretty average life. All because of income tax. Please tell me what the government does with my tax money, besides

Why do i have to pay income tax when i pay property tax, toll road tax, and sales tax? What good is it and why do republicans think it's a good thing?
Not paying taxes is good in general no matter who does it, poor or rich.
Jacob Perez
The rate of death by hanging for those who defend income tax should be 100%.
Sebastian Roberts
>What good is it and why do republicans think it's a good thing? Because Republicans are the same brand of Corporate Puppets as the Democrats, they just galvanize their base around religious and social issues. The tax model should be like the Third Reich, low individual income tax rate of 13.7%, and a higher corporate tax rate that goes up and down depending on circumstances.
But instead, corporations and international finance tax dodge and use their lobbyists to drive down their tax rate, increase number of high-volume tax loopholes/deductions, and then the bill is foot to the middle class. Then the propagandists get to work pitting the middle class against "welfare queens" and other disaffected working class people for subsisting in poverty on government benefits, while that same group of corporate/finance interests floods the country with third worlders to keep the wages low and ensure they stay on welfare as Voter Slaves, while continuously footing the bill to the middle class.
This is what happens in Capitalism. Why are you so surprised?
Juan Morgan
What's not to understand? You pay for immigrants to flood the labor pool, lowering your wages even more. You pay for police officers to fine you. You pay for niggers to rob you. And most importantly, you pay the wages of the people whose job it is to take your money to pay their wages to take your money to pay their wages to take your money...
Ryder Allen
$18 is not "about $57k" per year. Its doesn't even come close to that even gross. The only way you make the net pay you claim you do at $18 is if you work with no weekends and no holidays and get paid overtime for it. How aweful.
Blake Garcia
Can't we just invest in robots to do those jobs?
Nathaniel Brown
Except for super rich dont pay but we have to
Chase Nguyen
I only hate tax dodgers because they weasel out of what everyone has to face, and fake being poor. "Aww sheeeeit im too POH to pay my rent and get groceries so i gots my house and food paid for by the government. All dem billz i don't gotta pay so i buy me a new mercedes and a 90" OLED tv!"

Angel Reed

Ryan Turner
>Yah but when you rise above the middle class shit is pure keno Almost nobody does, though. An economic model of this kind is unsustainable and inevitably drives up disaffection. This is exactly the kind of thinking that creates Communists. The person most to blame for Stalin, and thus by extension, every single communist state on Earth, and the over 100,000,000 people that died because of it is the last emperor of Russia. "Sucks to be you" creates communists, which we can all agree is unacceptable.
David Garcia
>the super rich don't pay taxes They do, for the most part. It's just that most donate to charities, or operate special non profits that use subpar employment practices. The rest of it is concealed income, in the form of discretionary funds that technically don't qualify. People are, for the most part, just regards that look at cherry picked numbers and screech about it. Obviously they game the system, but many such options are available to the general public.
Michael James
No. Robots don't get wages and so can't be taxed, therefore infinite money can't be created.
Cameron Young
>we can't invent new sorts of taxes VAT would tax their productivity, which is something your country already has. It's called the GST in your country, though. VAT is what it's called in Europe. Typical Australian, not even knowing the laws of his own country.
Anthony Hernandez
There you go.
Of course it's taxation, mostly going to services that your country is giving you, that is theft, while loads of money going into mr. sheckleberg's pocket are completely fine.
Of course you didn't and still don't see services that were and are provided to you paid by taxes, that you used for 20 years before your first job.
Liam Gonzalez
57k on 18 an hour is possible with a consistent 14 hours of overtime per week.
(18*40*52)+(27*14*52) = 57k
That being said... no or few blue collar jobs provide consistent overtime. After you work 5 to 10 hours of overtime per week your payroll taxes increase and your tax bracket increases. Your employer also has to match your payroll taxes and overtime is generally not included in the estimating process.
Overtime under the current system of taxation is essentially a loss for everyone but Uncle Sam. The blue collar worker does not and can never obtain the financial standing required to acquire assets to write off the loss in personal profit from overtime. The blue collar worker is simply getting his/her ass whipped at 1.5 times the going rate.
Xavier Edwards
The robot isn't paying taxes because the robot does not consume goods and services. Not can it pay taxes on its own productivity because it does not earn a wage. Not that difficult to understand. You'd have to pay a wage to the robot before you can take it away.
Lincoln Bailey
You are being taxed because income tax is by far the most profitable thing to tax for any government. In the US it makes up half of the entire budget, which is why commies always talk about raising income tax as a means of fighting the banks. Since people are retarded enough to fall for this bait-and-switch, they are going to try to take advantage of the fact that you are a willing host. I mean, why would they decrease the amount of money that goes into programs?
Liam Davis
Tax needs to be simplified, I'm tired of paying taxes everytime I try to do anything with my money.
>Tax me when I get my money >Tax me when I spend my money >Tax me for having things >Tax me when I get rid of my things Yet you still have faggots who think Americans have less taxes than Europe, my ass they don't pay taxes everywhere like we do
Jordan Watson
The solution is simple - same basic minimal tax for everyone, regardless of income BUT wages have to go up accordingly. Big companies will eb taxed less, but they have to pay you more. Or else.
Anthony Allen
are you making a joke
this is a nightmare scenario
people will get more money = money will lose value
the country will get less money, paired with the fact that money will lose value = the country will lose its ability to control order
Matthew Wright
Not much in america. You guys are fucking terrible at using your taxes. Even in sweden where we take in nigger on nigger straight from africa are we that inefficient with our tax money, and we pay far more in taxes - and yet we live more comfortably than your average american. I'd blame corrupt politicians in your government.
Gavin Nguyen
>not giving the government back but a fraction of what you earned while they allowed you to work.
Christopher Diaz
>allowed me to work more like forced me
Jackson Stewart
You are a dumb dumb. The tax revenue comes from when people buy the goods produced by the robots. Now, how to get money to people so they can buy stuff from robots is a different question, but you guys already have Centrelink, so I'm sure you'll figure it out.
Jack Rivera
>leftist butthurt that people get the money that they earned and that it doesn't get taxed >money will instantly hyperinflate because the government doesn't get to have it Like clockwork

Josiah Evans
They could just incarcerate you and you'd have to do it for free.
Angel Scott
But think about it. People employed by corporations will earn times more than people employed by the country. I'm not even leftist.
Samuel Thompson
Well, in a natural state you're forced to work for your own survival at minimum. I don't know how it is in Bulgaria, but in civilized nations the government protects you and your property, which makes work actually worth something. If there was no state to protect you, you'd have to hire private police in order to keep your earnings.
Brandon Anderson
>"I'm not even leftist" You're not fooling anyone here, it is pretty damn obvious from your posts about surplus labour value and the government not being able to give you services if you don't give them more taxes.
Daniel Green
>more taxes Where is that mentioned in my posts? You're offering A LOT less taxes, my point is that the current amount - not more - is what's necessary to maintain the institutions that exist right now.
Angel Thompson
Do you want a civil war? Because that's how you get a civil war in a country with more privately-owned guns than citizens.
So stop printing money?
Kevin Collins
I'm a Janitor. Also an entrepreneur. I make more, net, after loopholes shenanigans, like services I use both for self and company being tax deductible and paying myself dividend.
Christian Murphy
As if they couldn't stop the civies if they wanted to. Your delusional.
Completely halting inflation (or worse, deflation) is almost as bad as hyperinflation. If your money will be worth exactly the same tomorrow as it is today, there's little reason to invest unless you know the returns will be large, since you could always wait until tomorrow when something better might come along. This doesn't sound so bad until it starts happening on a massive scale, which slows economic growth. If you have deflation it's even worse because then you'll hold onto your money forever, since it'll be worth even more tomorrow.
Yeah, how could the Vietcong and the Taliban ever even conceive of being able to stick it out against the US military? Lmao, those dumb redneck retards.
Logan Gutierrez
they can try and said goverment is overthrown within a month >you'd be forced to work for your survival at minimum I can survive and keep my shit without working. Not on neetbux, just got lucky with life >in civilized nations the government protects you and your property The state is not obliged to protect either. It's in their best interest to do so, and they do it. >if there was no state to protect you, you'd have to hire private police Yes, thats why I pay land tax. For protection. If I want to throw my garbage in the dump, I pay the state for handling it. If I want to not pay them garbage tax, I should be my decision. Say I want to burn my trash. Why would I pay the state if I'm handling it by myself? Why would they fine me for not using their services? I have a house for rent. With the rent I can live just fine. The one who's paying me rent works, so he pays income tax in order to get paid next month as well, without forcing the state into printing money out of thin air. I'm not working. Why would I pay income tax?
Anthony Myers
Based on what do you base this assumption of yours?
Cameron Wilson

Connor Baker
Move to a state which doesn't have income tax, like Florida.
Adam King
Fiat currency is inherently worthless. Fractional reserve banking guarantees debt-slavery on a national scale.
Carson Morris
Bingo. Also, an American is not organically liable for the income tax. There are all sorts of ways you opt in. It's fraud. It's collected under article 4 section 2 of the US Constitution and some legal games to make everyone slaves.
Christopher Russell
Nah, you're delusional. To maintain a police state, you need police. You can't do it with drones. You also can't do it with bombs. When you start killing the shit out of your own people that's when another country steps in to "restore order" and "save the people from the oppressive regime". You should know this, though, as it happened in your country.
John Roberts
The poster I'm responding to suggested: 1. less money for govt (which it uses to pay its employees) 2. force companies to pay its workers more
Grayson Ross
>You're offering A LOT less taxes Yes, since income tax is the biggest cash cow for any government bureaucrat. And if it is the biggest source of income for them, someone ends up having that money taken from their pocket. >is what's necessary to maintain the institutions that exist right now Ain't that a fine statement. I guess you are fine with everything the government is doing, especially the part where they simply whore themselves out. After all, the institutions need to be saved from the threat of collapse by keeping them afloat by any means necessary.
Kayden Adams
Why wouldn't your renter just kill you and take your house if there aren't any police? Morality? Even if it stops him, there's somebody out there who would kill you and take your stuff if they thought they could get away with it. The state is obliged to protect you because they stop being the state if they don't. When the state doesn't enforce property rights that's when it gets overthrown.
Dominic Bell
Well, they will collapse. I don't even think you are denying that. You can choose to hate instructions that directly or indirectly benefiting you, or you can hate mr sheckelberg. Is the choice not obvious here?
Brandon Morgan
The only thing wrong in your line of thinking is, which fucking military force would even attempt going face to face with the US army let alone on US soil. The "restore order" is an American thing to police the world.
Zachary Long
That would be amazing. I would stop working and live off of the tax paye....wait
Aaron Price
That does not instantly equate hyperinflation simply because people get money. All you have provided is. >b-but that money is used by the government, they need to eat too >w-well you probably won't get that money anyway, the corporations are so charitable that they are choosing to pay every single cent of that tax without pushing any of it on you
Cameron Lee
>pay for alphabet soup agencies budget and pensions >pay for NATO
Lucas Robinson
No hyperinflation mentioned in the post you're replying to or the one before it - just talking about difference in pay between govt workers and corporation workers.
Vietcong was thanks to massive Russian support. Taliban has been removed from power, though your great leader is thinking of giving them the power back.
Josiah Gonzalez

You do realize that a significant portion of the military would join the revolt if a civil war occurred, right? Most people don't like to slaughter their countrymen. They wouldn't be fighting the organized force with incredible logistics and supply chains that exists now.

Christian Peterson
>be me, make $18 an hour >about $57k per year lol no.
Blake Gomez
Ok? What about roads? I'm really not sure what your argument is here. You're already not paying income tax, so I don't see what you're complaining about. As points out, police are paid for by property tax usually.
Isaac Gomez
don't you also have to pay them taxes again a second time?
Joseph Brown
Piss off, my dude. This isn't post 9/11 Iraqi white guy army men any more.
30% of your troops are women. 20% are trans or gay AF. 55% are brown.
The only revolt you're getting is the one when the orange fuckboy refuses to concede the election and the army helps install Big Liz as Madam President for life.
>Is the choice not obvious here? Really, user? You're going to proclaim that he doesn't benefit from the government more than you? Fine, just live on the scraps that you are provided: if you are having difficulties, don't worry, we'll give you a small portion of what you paid us back to you. Let's ignore the fact that the government can't actually give more money than what it has (or even the same amount, given the fact that it has to pay employees) without taking out loans to push the costs for later.
Government workers get pretty huge benefits such as being impossible to remove from their position for shit for doing fuck-all work.
Angel Collins
With my overtime, it's closer to 60k.
Brayden Peterson
I'm not calling for any kind of revolt. I like order and stability, even if we don't live in an optimal system. I'm just saying that if even a quarter of the military defected, that would cripple them. I mean, what percentage would be officers with sensitive information they could pass to foreign officials? Even brown people don't like to be forced to kill their neighbors. Women especially don't.
Gavin Sanchez
You don't live in a vacuum. Ask for a raise if you're not getting enough.
Nicholas Anderson
I think you underestimate the brainwashing you go through in the military, defend our freedom from enemies abroad or within the country (not sure of the exact phrasing) meaning they would fucking do it when told to.

Asher Martinez
>people will get more money = money will lose value
No, idiot. Money loses value if more of it is in circulation.
10 people having 100$ and 100 people having 10$ OR 10 people having 50$ and 100 people having 15$ - the amount is the same.
If anytihng, having more moeny will enourage more spending, which means the money to circulate more, ergo, economy benefits.

>what about roads Comes from euro subsidiaries (if the road is new) and the remains of other taxes that are not directly consumed for another service such as property ones. >what is your argument More like point I'm trying to make. People should be able to opt out of some taxes. All taxes should go trough the same state organization. 1 universal tax thats made of all former taxes. You go to the ministry of finances and declare you wish to opt out of tax A, B, and C, thus losing benefits X, Y, and Z. Opted out of waste tax? Dont pay it, but dont use garbage bins. Garbage bins will follow the UK system. One for every house + some large ones that are monitored. When caught breaking the deal, you pay a hefty fine. If you need to dispose of something that cant be burned/needs special treatment like hazardous go to the garbage center and pay them a salty fee to take care of it. >you're already not paying income tax I am. National Income Agency counts everything you get as income. Rent included. Not declaring income is tax evasion and will fuck you up big time when caught
Lincoln Butler
Yeah, most privates are only really loyal to guys one or two ranks up. That's why written orders need to be given so often. If any officers decided to defect (and they would, since the army doesn't officially use IQ to determine who gets to be an officer, but it effectively does), most of their men would follow them.
Isaiah Peterson
is this what goys actually believe
Grayson Peterson
Well yeah, rent money is income. It's not a tax on labor, it's a tax on income. You're complaining that you don't get to get as much free money for the non-work that you do. I thought Jews were the greediest people on Earth, but apparently it's the Bulgarians.

No shit I'm complaining. My free money is being taken away by someone who did even less than I to earn. Maintaining a building isnt as easy as one might think so there is investment >jews are not the greediest its the bulgarians Always trying to be more jewish than the Jew is the key to a good life. >where would you take your garbage I burn it. If I don't have a place to burn garbage, I dont opt out of the garbage tax. >dont you receive gibs since you dont work? No because on paper gibs are for those who cant survive otherwise.
