Tax laws are usually made to make it easy to collect, hard to dodge taxes.
If companies pay all the tax I could create a company, invoice my current employer, pay myself a salary that is equal to the entire profit margin. There is nothing left to tax.
You could try to patch the loophole but then you’ll break down something else.
Where I live a majority of the voters are generally okay with high taxes (35%-50%) as long as it’s only shared with other people who works and pays taxes.
It’s evil to take someones money. It’s necessary because it funds the surrounding. A necessary evil, as op asked for.
Twice as many mattreses as needed.
Tax. Noone wants their money to be taken away. But it’s probably a good idea to have at least some government funded stuff.
Whatever as long as it’s not sweet potato.
I’m convinced my old car was haunted. Flickering lights, unexplained movements, the muffled screams of the damned from the glove compartment.
I don’t live in the US, I only care for your foregin policy. I’m all for immigration for anyone who can be bothered to work and pay taxes with the rest of us. In fact if you manage so sneak into the country and pay tax you should be given a temporary residence permit just for the trouble.
If you have been a permanent resident for a long time you should be allowed to become a citizen. If your parents were here for a few years when you were born I’m not convinced it’s a good idea.
We should definitely accept refugees. They have an urgent need of safety. If they get a job and pay taxes I don’t see an issue with giving them permanent residency either. A permanent resident does not have the same urgent need of becoming a citizen.
Why is cultural diversity an advantage? It’s mentioned in the political debate by both sides as either essential or with disdain. I don’t understand why either side would be correct in this case.
I see a clear disadvantage, but I’m willing to listen to the arguments for the other side before I make up my mind.
No. What’s the advantage for me as a citizen?
If you get the wrong idea about how good they actually do it’s not because you got my scale wrong, it’s because I spent 5 minutes thinking about how I feel they do.
What do they spend the money on instead?
Do you get value for your money in your country?
I’m okay with paying my taxes, don’t really care if it’s more or less as long as they are responsible with spending it.
I rate my town government B- and national government B+ when it comes to responsibility.
I’ve been to two. For one I was the designated driver.
I pay tax so that someone else can figure out who murdered who.
Please, I only have one life and I don’t want to spend it thinking about miserable things.
My up/down votes gets as much attention as their importance warrants. None at all.
Always invert. When you’re thinking about any problem, try to figure out how you can make it worse, then make really sure you avoid doing that.
Want to be happy? Find out what makes you sad and if you can avoid it.
Want to lose weight, how do people who try to gain weight go about it?
Want to convince someone of something? How do you go about making sure they will dig their heels in?
Need to carry a couch up a flight of stairs? How do you break you back and pinch your fingers?
The man made horror of moving out of Africa?
Alexandria during summer has about 14 hours of daylight and Johannesburg during their summer has about 13.
The Nordic Capitals have sunset some time after 21 and 18 hours of daylight now.
Vim takes your keyboard shortcuts to the extreme. If you can be bothered to learn it.
