I filed my taxes. I made $75k, of which they took $15k out of my check. Now I owe $4k more.

No matter how you cut it, that's an effective tax rate of 25%.

Now social matters are important to me. But 25% of my income important? I don't think so. The Obama tax plan sucks badly.

This year the Dems cannot count on my vote.

lol, what was Trump's tax plan again?

>Trump doesn't want to tax people who make less than 18 grand

Bernie's totally caring about the poor huh?
Everyone has to pay taxes. That's just the way it is.

He also doesn't want to tax the rich at all.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.

If Verb is willing to have a middle ground, 25% is a bit low, but no one should have half their income taken away.

When he labored for more.

Entitled students are probably the first people who's opinions I disregard on government taxing and spending.

I myself would argue 35-39 percent is decent, then again if you're making in the millions, you probably don't really care.

Those expensive houses and million dollar cars aren't gonna buy themselves.

Dude come on the only way rich people contribute to society is through taxes mandatory donations.

They don't do manual labor so you know they aren't REALLY contributing.

That's my point.

There's so many otherwise to make "the rich pay more" than just income tax. Groceries at stores nearby gated communities aren't the same price or cheaper than groceries at stores near slums.

And the property taxes on those things aren't gonna pay themselves.

Or the cost of the products going back to support their respective industries.

Or the taxes paid by the companies that sold the products.

Or the paychecks going to the workers who contribute their labor to these industries.

Technology is a place where "trickle down economics" actually works. The crazy ass high-tech options that were only available in 100,000 dollar luxury or purpose-built sports cars ten years ago are commonplace in a mid size family car today, and it's because those at the top were able to fund the development of the technology when it was new.

Well... When rent is 36,000 per year, a car is $4,800, insurances at around 2,400, utilities around 6,000...

56,000 ain't that much

tbh if you're paying your marginal rate for your bracket you are probably missing some deductions or exemptions. Fire your tax guy.

But yeah, 25% doesn't sound too bad until you're effectively handing over 3 months of income to the government.

Which is why we need to gut welfare and roll government pension in to private retirement options.
