Why are taxes so high?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: February 12th, 2024 9:59 AM Author: Stirring violent theater sandwich I have 4 children. It costs over $40,000/year in school and childcare. They also eat food, consume electricity, water, natural gas, and entertainment. When it comes to my taxes I get tax credits worth $9,200.00 for raising up future taxpayers. It is profoundly unfair. Tax Credit breakdown: 4 kids x $2,000 per child credit + $1,200 tax credit for daycare (credit = 20% of first $6,000 spend for 2 or more children. It'd only be 20% of first $3,000 if I only had one child). Daylight robbery. These goddamn tax rules. |

Date: February 12th, 2024 10:15 AM Author: Stirring violent theater sandwich That's an insane rationale. I work very hard and I am trying to contribute to society by raising future taxpayers. But in the process, I just end up getting the pointy end of Uncle Sam's cane in my eye! I demand fairer treatment for parents!

Date: February 12th, 2024 10:42 AM Author: Floppy Resort Newt Why would raising future taxpayers relieve you of paying taxes? If it did, you wouldn't be raising future taxpayers at all, since they would also get out of paying taxes on account of raising future taxpayers. Makes no sense.

Date: February 12th, 2024 10:52 AM Author: Cream immigrant It isn't so much the taxes. It's that you get basically nothing from the government in return.
In other civilized countries with similar or even slightly higher tax burdens, you'd be receiving extended paid parental leave for the newborns; free or heavily subsidized daycare; free or heavily subsidized medical care; functional public transportation that you can actually use with your children; and more.
In the US you get the burdens of moderate-to-high taxation but none of the benefits. Taxes go towards a minimal safety net for the abject poor (SNAP, etc.) and various forms of corporate welfare that benefit the top 1-10% of taxpayers. |

You're right. We pay way too much taxes and get less and less. It's all squandered away on the military industrial complex and foreign aid, both of which exist at this point only to protect Jewish capital. |

Date: February 12th, 2024 11:59 AM Author: Ungodly electric furnace range The real answer, which is the third rail of American politics, is that you are paying to provide healthcare, credits, and straight money payments to the "old," disabled, veterans, unemployed, and the poor. That's it. Look at the Mandatory Spending chart here: https://www.nationalpriorities.org/budget-basics/federal-budget-101/spending/ (third chart from the top). That's why your taxes are high. The government since the 1930s has slowly become a bread and circuses compromise where money is redirected from productive earners to unproductive users in exchange for the votes of the latter.
