The whole country needs to go on a tax strike
the IRS has grown too powerful and are enabling the deficit growth
I've been saying that for a while. Let's stop funding them and their criminal activities. If enough people will join together, we can break them. They have faked their numbers. There have always been more like us than there are of them. People just needed to wake up.
Here in Hong Kong:
Income tax (both salaries and profit) capped at 15%. Median rate for workers = less than 2%
Sales tax: no such thing, except certain items such as cigarettes
Property taxes: effective rate 0.2% in respect to property value (3% "land rent" + 5% "rates" in respect to property rental value), also taxes on rent 15%
Inheritance taxes: abolished in 2006
That's it. No other taxes.
This needs fixing because there are some parts that are wrong or just dumb. You get taxed on your wages and pay income taxes. That is the same thing. If you don’t pay taxes on wages, then you will have income tax to pay. If you pay too much on your wages you will get money back when filing income tax. You also don’t pay sales tax when you purchase real estate. So when we say things that are factually wrong, it takes away from our main argument. Taxes are bullshit
Also wanted to add that the argument at the end is false. Politicians don't get wealthy on taxes which pay their salaries. They get wealthy on insider trading, because they're writing the rules that affect the market, and corruption.
I'd consider that corruption rather than salary from taxes
I think there's also been a lot more money laundering and skimming off the top than we were ever aware of.
Yes, they have a generous compensation and benefits package. But I'm talking about wealth that put them in the top 1% or 0.1% of Americans. That comes from the legal insider trading they do and corruption.
Came here to point out the same. So dumb! And taxes are bullshit.
In PA we pay a transfer tax when we buy and sell real estate. Every county has a different rate.we also pay yearly property taxes.
That’s still wages earned. And Washington is a lib shithole due to Seattle
I was going to say the exact same thing!! I worked in real estate for years, you don't pay sales tax when purchasing a home. Although, I wholeheartedly agree with the message, it just needs tweaking.
Defund the government.
We shouldn't just ask the questions, we should demand the answers.
Yes! And we need a politician with balls to enact tax reform. Unfortunately, a politician w/ balls has yet to be discovered. 45 is/was the closest to it, but this tax issue persists
Exactly and I'm sure globalist corporations get to enjoy a heavy tax break on our benefit!
And they want carbon taxes as the cherry on top.
You will own nothing and you will be happy.
It's the greater good, silly.
Gotta pay for that "social contract" we all signed on to.
You're really missing the point. Washington prints, borrows, whatever, all the money they need to do their dirty deeds. Taxes are imposed to keep the common folk from getting ahead. That's it. That's the only purpose of taxes. To keep you living paycheck to paycheck. Wake up!
to this day I haven't made any significant financial achievements because of this bullshit. Still can't get out of simple low cost debt
Man, I got some RSO for the first time ever (I've been promised them before but never actually got them but that beside the point).
The brokerage house sold 1/3 of them to pay for taxes, then I get a letter saying I gotta pay capital gains tax on the stock sold to pay for taxes that was already taxed as fucking income!! Bullshit!
It's because you're a good, captive, CORPORATE citizen. Figure it out
They STEAL our money through TAXES in various forms. WHY are we ok with this????
