>>510531592>there's a reason every rich european individual or firm moves to americaYes. That reason is tax shelters for .01% billionaires that aren't available to the 99.99% underclass proles.
Middle class pays over 65% taxes after all the taxes, fees, licensing, property, utilities, social security, and insurance payments.
And yes, utilities, social security, and mandatory insurance are taxes. Utility companies and infrastructure are created, monopolized, and subsidized by our tax dollars while we pay full price for utilization plus all the extra taxes and fees added to the bill.
Social security is a straight up tax ponzie scheme that only works if most people die before they collect everything they put in.
Insurance mandates for forcing you to buy private company products were only ruled Constitutionally valid as a tax.
Hell everyone who buys a product from a corporation is paying their corporate payroll and income taxes that were baked into the product price before you are forced to pay the local sales tax.
So maybe 75% of your earnings being eaten by a corrupt government isn't really off of the table.
