One of the many quaint beliefs the Left has about the US is that it's a relatively low-tax country

[MikeDamone]

Paid 42% tax rate in Sweden, got free health care, free full time childcare (8:30am to 4pm), and $100 a month unlimited metro card.

US I get taxed 28% and get toll roads

I get taxed a lot more than 28% and still get toll roads.

Bullshit. No you don’t.

24% federal tax bracket on $142k is about and %18 effective tax rate. Add about 15% for FICA and Medicare and you’re at %33. We haven’t talked about property, state, and sales tax yet.

So fuck off.

I'm really disappointed in you ladies. This is one of your favorite subjects, that we're not taxed enough. Did your booster shot have some side effects?

There is zero chance any of you gals pays 28% of your income in taxes. Basic math fail.

Agree. It’s much more

You can't claim that the US is a low tax country though, as was the original point of the discussion.

Certainly not low taxed if we consider the imagined rates you all pay.

Is there a chance that you missed the point of the discussion?

You don’t want to pay European tax rates and you don’t receive European benefits. You especially don’t want me paying European rates . . . ‘cuz socialism, of course.

Why do you think we just need more taxes?

Because the money is already spent.

So you agree that more taxes is a stupid idea.

Sure. You’ll all turn down your entitlements for the common good, right?

Still missing the point.

The point of a guy deciding to live in Europe because he gets more benefits.

The point is that despite the US having high taxes, there are less benefits. Would you pay more for a product that was of inferior quality? Thought you were a bidnessman.

High taxes? Counter factual. Most of you have an effective tax rate below (if not well below) 20%.

Wait wait wait, are we going to go with how the lower class doesn't actually pay taxes? Is that where you want to go?

Oh please oh please oh please let's do it.

Not at all. I assume most of you also take advantage of at least some of the obvious ways to legally reduce your tax burden.

Wrong move to assume what 'most of you'... etc think or do. The disjointed and dysfunctional way that Americans pay taxes causes people in some states like California or New York to pay a lot in overall taxes, and to receive a lot less in return from their local, state, and federal governments. Is this in dispute?

 

[WestlinnDuck]

We've sure got an awful lot of hypothetically highly taxed folks here. Short on details, though.

In California federal and state tax rate on wealthy marginal taxable income is over 50%. Toss in property taxes and sales taxes and you think they are undertaxed. For some reason, wealthy democrats in Cali aren't voluntarily paying their fair share but need to do so at gunpoint. Just like leftards everywhere.

@CirrhosisDawg cried like a bitch when Trump took his SALT exemption away

Biden gave it back

Rather than blame the state for high taxes rich Californians want poor folks in other states to pick up the slack

A lot like H - I won't pay more but you should

The irony is that the blue states have strict limits on the deductibility of the federal income tax on their state income tax returns. So, if you are in the top income tax brackets and earn an additional $100,000 of income you pay your federal income tax of approximately 40%. That leaves you with only $60,000 in cash. Then you file your state income tax return and have to pay state tax on the full $100,000 or 13.3% in Cali. So, you now have $46,700 of cash after federal and state taxes. So, the blue state dems are arguing that you should be able to deduct the full $13,300 on their federal income tax returns because you don't have the cash and it's unfair to pay federal income tax on cash you don't have. They completely ignore the much larger problem is that you have to pay state income tax on the money you send the feds. Phuck em.

It’s hard if you’re a dumbshit like you. Like I said. A person making $143k pays about 18% federal income tax and another 15% in FICA/Medicare (you’d be a dumbfuck to argue it’s half that, so I wouldn’t be surprised if you did). That’s an effective rate of ~33%.

Why $143k, that’s the amount we’re FICA ends, so the rate goes down to 3%, but the person would be looking at higher marginal rates past that (32% at $164k). A person making $164k would pay ~19%, but would get a cut on FICA of 12% on about 20k, so about 1.5% reduction on their gross, so we are back to around 33%.

Fuck off. We pay a shit ton in taxes. Add state and local and we get very close to European rates.

Pete Holmes, most recent city attorney for Seattle, was asked why crime was going up in Seattle. He said 'More taxes will fix it'. Same answer lefties always give. And then they try to say that taxes are low, so why complain about a tiny little bit more. Those motherfuckers.

Did anyone actually go look at their effective rate of taxation?

You girls are great at telling me what someone could pay.
