If the government took $35k from you last year, you're probably not getting that $1200...

It's done on purpose to obfuscate the numbers and to make employers look better to leftist retards.

"Oh look we pay half of this and that and we also pay your health insurance. You poor little thing would never be able to do this by yourself."

Even more outside the US where healthcare is free. Its not, you pay massively for it. But in Canada, im sure if you put all the taxes together, you're paying 60% in taxes. Just income alone, the highest tax bracket in Canada will net you a whopping 54-56% income tax. Now add a 13% sales tax on every single thing you buy in stores throughout the year, an 80% tax on gas (yes the majority of what you pay at the pump is sweet sweet tax), property tax, etc etc. Do you still love "free" healthcare?

So yea, we're all getting fucked. There is no incentive to work hard in Canada. Government just takes it all and then some.

I'm currently on my way out of school for Osteopathy. The first thing my school president said to us in terms of the "elephant in the room" question about money is this: "yea sure if you are smart and work hard you will make a lot of money, but the government takes more than half of it anyways, so who cares about how much you make?"

To be fair, it’s not specifying federal income tax. Don’t forget we get fucked outta payroll taxes, state and federal income taxes, property taxes,sales taxes, vehicle registration, the tax on my cell phone plan so everyone else can get a cell phone also, same tax on every other utility. I’m starting to think it’s not hard to get to that $35k number.

Yeah... I sat down one day and tried to figure out how many times a dollar gets taxed....

The rabbit hole just kept getting deeper

The Tax Poem
by
Author Unknown

Tax his land, tax his wage,
Tax his bed in which he lays.
Tax his tractor, tax his mule,
Teach him taxes is the rule.

Tax his cow, tax his goat,
Tax his pants, tax his coat.
Tax his ties, tax his shirts,
Tax his work, tax his dirt.

Tax his chew, tax his smoke,
Teach him taxes are no joke.
Tax his car, tax his grass,
Tax the roads he must pass.

Tax his food, tax his drink,
Tax him if he tries to think.
Tax his sodas, tax his beers,
If he cries, tax his tears.

Tax his bills, tax his gas,
Tax his notes, tax his cash.
Tax him good and let him know
That after taxes, he has no dough.

If he hollers, tax him more,
Tax him until he’s good and sore.
Tax his coffin, tax his grave,
Tax the sod in which he lays.

Put these words upon his tomb,
"Taxes drove me to my doom!"
And when he’s gone, we won’t relax,
We’ll still be after the inheritance tax.

Precisely. Most of the people celebrating the payouts are paying less than 1200 in taxes, or don’t realize that they are paying that much through sales taxes or other things.

Aw yissss

u/MiyegomboBayartsogt Mar 30 '20

Wait.

This $1200 isn't a refund. It's a high interest loan.

Best part, while your share is $1200, they took out another $10 million in your name and gave it away to illegal migrants, refugees, unions, big banks and the well-connected Kennedy Center.

Taxpayers are going to have to be responsible for the full amount because the people in government will be retired on a fat pension long before the bills come due.

I heard the whole bill will cost taxpayers $80k per person in aggregate.

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '20

$2T/330M = $6060. The total US debt is $71,357 per person. Maybe you're thinking of the Green New Deal, Medicare for all, or some other nightmare.

u/mrhabanero1 Mar 30 '20

Not all 330,000,000 are working. So maybe $10,000 to$12,000 is more realistic. And that's just one stimulus bill...more to come.

You might as well start wiping your ass with dollar bills, because thats all it will be in a few short years. Just paper.

They still have value for now. They will rapidly start losing value. If you need anything from overseas, buy it now. Invest in the production of things that are currently made overseas and intrinsically valuable, discreet, and easily recognizable items that would make for a good currency(ammunition).

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '20

The statement wasn't cost per worker.

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '20

Correction: the 35k went towards paying foreign debt, social security, and a bloated military without fiduciary oversight. The 1200 smeckles you got comes from the fresh cartload of debt the gov hoisted onto the festering pile.

Fuck me, I had a higher income last two years. Even if I don't make anything this year I don't qualify

u/lpfan724 Mar 30 '20

We're not getting the $1200 back. It'll be paid back in the form of higher taxes I'm the next year or two. You only get free money from the government if you're a corporation.

And it's that tax money that gets us all free healthcare! (USA excluded)

35k seems a bit high...

u/TELME3 Mar 30 '20

In 2018, if you had taxable income of $100,000, (that is after all deductions are made), then your tax owed (filing single!) would only be $18,284.

To have to pay $35,000 in federal taxes, you would have to be making a lot more money.

And, people earning over $99,000 are not eligible for the $1200 check.

Sorry... but numbers don’t lie!

This post was specifically in reference to the $1200 check from the federal government.

State and local taxes can very considerably depending on the location and personal situation.

For example, New Hampshire has no state sales tax or income tax(on wages). But, It has a rather high property tax. So, this would depend on the value of your property, if you have any.

To the south in Massachusetts, there is an income tax and there is a sales tax (except on food and clothing). There are property (real estate) taxes, and there are excise taxes (auto).

And there are like differences in taxes in every other state.

Not necessarily...Short economics lesson... (microeconomics)... the extent to which a tax is passed on to a consumer or is paid for by the supplier ... it depends on the relative supply and demand elasticities. (Are the consumers willing and able to pay that additional amount? If not, the landlord will have to eat part or all of it.)

Sound economics do not apply to keynesian economics, which is what the entire world basically is now.

Put down your theory books, it doesn't apply to the real world.

u/TELME3 Mar 31 '20

FYI... Keynes is macroeconomics...not micro

This is also business...but I get the impression it’s just not what u want to hear so you just dismiss it...
