If everyone pays the same sales tax, it isn't theft, you filthy criminal scum.
You're a thief. Why do you think you deserve to steal other people's money just because you're poor? You've lost all credibility with me. You should be in prison for advocating theft.
Who cares about those people? Work more then or get a better job. Also, your statement is false anyway.
Perhaps you're only accustomed to lazy people? Most people I know earning $150k/yr are working on business ventures and side-hustles to make more money. I think your theory is flawed and is based more on arm-chair university theories. The $100k/yr earner working Uber was literally based on a co-worker on mine who was earning that and literally working Uber but he stopped because he found the earnings wasn't wroth it for what he did when factoring in taxes.
A lot of people don't work more because they don't want 50% of what they earn going to the government and because most businesses won't let you so they're forced to work in non-traditional means. There was just a story posted here of a woman working 3 jobs and was a top performer making like $300k/yr. People want to work but only if they're paid appropriately for what they do and they aren't stuck in archaic show-up, swipe-in and swipe-out models of working. Yes, there will be some people who don't work but there will be others who do work and that will cancel out.
It's not about "punishing poor and middle-class" people because I could careless if you were poor or rich. It's all about making taxation fair and reasonable in amount. The best way to tax society is a 10% consumption tax which includes rental payments and the differential between cost and income (profit) for interest paid on debt. Then trade taxes (tariffs) and abolish all other taxes including abolishing property tax and income tax. You can fund infrastructure, military and the justice system without taking on any debt. But in lieu of that, eliminating income taxes would be a decent move.
Currently, consumption taxes (including sin taxes), tariffs and other trade taxes, resource taxes (tied to environmental taxes), business profit taxes, capital gains/dividends taxes, payroll taxes, estate taxes and user-fees.
Income taxes only represent 40% of revenues earned by state and federal governments. Over the long-term a reduction of income taxes to 0 is likely only going to reduce total revenues by 25% (due to the improved economic gains leading to higher other taxes).
Not at all. A decrease in income tax would lead to an increase in economic output which would lead to higher taxes raised from other taxes and a simple reallocation of wasted spending then voila, easy to increase infrastructure spending without raising debt while eliminating income tax.
But 0 income taxes would mean there is no money for essential things like a functioning infrastructure.
Absolutely NOT. The government earns more than enough taxes to eliminate income tax. Trump didn't float the idea for no reason. The government DOES NOT need income taxes.
I have a finance degree and have analyzed financial statements my whole life including the financials of municipalities. I have a CFA. I know what I'm talking about. Do you know HOW LITTLE taxes are spent on infrastructure? You'd probably be angry if you truly understood.
Just so you know. The US government both state and federal (the ones who raise income tax) only spend 4.55% of their tax revenue on infrastructure.
You can eliminate income tax and pay for infrastructure EASILY. In fact, you can lower income taxes to 0 and increase infrastructure spending without raising debt.
The government is a band of robbers. Taxes (all taxes) are 80-90% higher than they ought to be.
No, this is false. Somalia is Somalia because of the genetics of the Ns living there. The USA with low taxes, presuming we also deport all the non-Whites would be significantly better.
And no, overall the unproductive gain from taxes and the productive pay the taxes which is net negative for your society. Security and justice can easily be accomplished with 90% less taxes than we pay now, especially if we deport all nons. Everything else taxes fund are worthless.
You're wrong. Lowering income taxes actually increases work output not decrease.
Lowering income taxes has a net positive impact on the economy and the quality of life of everyone. The actual impacts as to what would happen are complex but essentially:
- Your before tax income would lower but after tax income relative to prices of products/services would increase.
- Prices of products/services would go down
- People would work more NOT less because they aren't penalized by progressive income taxes AND because to finance 0 income taxes you must abolish social programs. Social programs lead to a reduction in work (just like progressive income taxes). Lastly, it makes businesses more able to afford labor because they can now pay their employees less because the after-tax income of these employees will be higher given that they aren't taxed. Because the business are saving labor income it leads to business growth which puts a demand on labor thus increasing the real wages of labor which increases the total amount that people work since the incentive is now higher.
Lowering income taxes INCREASES work, it doesn't decrease it. This should be intuitive. You're basically saying if we wanted to increase AI use in companies we should tax companies for using AI. Doesn't make ANY sense. The reason many people seem to stop working at a certain income level now is because of how taxes work. For example if you worked a job paying $100k/yr and wanted to work part-time as a Uber driver, you wouldn't. Why wouldn't you? Because the income you earn is now taxed at 50% because of your tax bracket whereas the Indians/Muslims Uber drivers who only do that as their only job earn 100% of their income therefore the pay Uber pays people is based on this 0% income taxes they pay. For them, what they earn is enough to be worth the time, gas and car payments/maintenance but for you, it wouldn't be. Without income tax it would lead to higher after-tax income related to prices of products/services for people earning $100k/yr to work as an uber driver to make more money so you'd get more people doing this.
People right now are discouraged from working more because of social programs and progressive income tax. Eliminate both and you'll increase work not decrease it.
Your thought process is so twisted. It's basically saying the USSR was right and communism leads to more people working except it does the exact opposite. All evidence shows that social programs and progressive taxes (more taxes in general) lead to less work not more. Of course, I am talking about valuable work though. At 100% taxes you can force everyone to dig ditches and then have 100% work but that's useless. Only productive work matters and most work today is unproductive.
The reason they don't lower income taxes is because the government wants full control over how your money is spent.
How about 0 income taxes instead? Why are our most productive people punished the most? Makes no sense.
Damn, some Indian is gonna be pissed his favourite onlyfans whore died.
It's funny people say this. I've actually never had a problem with HR and have actually preferred HR to non-HR employees a lot of the time. I've also worked at the largest company in the country among other larger companies. The issue with HR for me is more about the cost to the organization.
Not even with careers but with houses also. So many boomers accomplished nothing and were going to retire with nothing too then all of a sudden they lucked out with real estate thanks to the government destroying the country with immigrants and then the boomers act like they were always mastermind millionaires thanks to their superior competency. Then they have the ignorance to presume all young people can do exactly what they did since they did it without any regard for changing circumstance.
Yes, that's a common theme. Boomers never experienced the oppression that young men face today so they don't understand and the ones that understan, often don't care.
Clearly violates the 5th amendment. The only legal ways they can accomplish this is by fining the owners so much for some sort of breach that the owners willingly give up the property. This tactic has been used in cities with abandoned properties before. It could work for extremely rundown properties that violates some sort of made up safety issue.
He sounds like a piece of shit.
HR's purpose was to help relieve hiring difficulties from management but in the 70s things were different than now. It's actually pretty easy for Hiring Managers to do everything themselves because nearly everything is automated anyhow. There's tons of bloat in HR departments. They're a relic of the past we don't need anymore.
Also, I don't think you should be so bitter/jealous about guys going to wing Wednesdays. However, the pool and house is pretty boomer coded.
School as in k-12 academic institutions is in fact bullshit but teaching to boys as they grow into men is important but this teaching must come from the parents (man especially) not the schools.
The power for everyone to "do school right" exists but no one chooses to use it. Homeschool.
We as a society need to completely defund education 100% both k-12 and post secondary. 0 government backing for student loans either.
ADHD is merely a symptom of a world devoid of passion.
I'd pay $40k for it.
A modern Scofield study bible, nice. /s
AI does seem to be super effective on boomers.
Leftist women are dwarves?
Yeah, it has but a good twist to that would be how you "never see female dwarves in public" and then having it where it's because female dwarves are actually super hot and the male dwarves are the ones who spread the rumor to keep alien species away from trying to bang their women.
It's like no one has any imagination anymore. You could even make it where only the male dwarves have the dwarf-gene and female dwarves are basically full-sized humans which is why you never see "female dwarves" because there technically are none.
Not at all. Your solution is literally steal from the productive people to give to the unproductive. My solution is to make taxes equal such that there's 0 attempt by the rich or poor to steal from the other. Whether you're rich or poor should have no impact on the taxes you pay. Everyone pays the same taxes.
