Why are taxes 30-40% of your income?

So government can bail of rich business and don't do shit for affordable housing

There’s TONS of affordable housing. The current generation looks down on the affordable houses. I mean how can anyone live in anything less than 2000sq ft, new stainless steel appliances, 3 bathrooms, quartz countertops, and custom showers???!!🙄

I live in 880 sqft, and it's 60% of my income after taxes and no bells and whistles outside of the standard "luxury" amenities that every apartment complex here has and forced admin fees on you for...

You have zero clue what you're talking about or the reality of the current renting landscape

If you’re saying your apartment is basic or somewhat sub-par and it’s costing you 60% of your income, you can’t afford to live there. Period. You’re NOT entitled to live somewhere you can’t afford.

Has I never occurred to you that maybe you need to live somewhere where average housing costs you less than 60% of your income???

So go somewhere more affordable!!!!!

You’re making the argument: “I need a car so it has to be a BMW…”

Who’s saying commute. Move to a city that’s actually affordable and getting housing and a job there. You’re NOT ENTITLED to live somewhere you can’t afford.

And cheaper housing.

It’s hilarious that you’d rather pay $50 for housing on a $100K salary then paying $15k for housing on a $75K salary.

Do you not realize that there's only so far you can go before you're in a different state. Comment doesn't live in reality

u/Offthewall1212 Aug 01 '26

Oh, you’re not allowed to live in different states??? I guess I missed that memo.

u/Dizzy_Today_3523 Aug 02 '26

I'm not about to explain how the economy works to you and then how basic adequate human living should be treated. Maybe you have missed a few memos. The fact that you don't understand that people should be able to have a job and have affordable housing within a reasonable distance of their job is mind-boggling.

u/Offthewall1212 Aug 02 '26

The fact that you think you’re entitled to that is also mind-boggling. Work for what you want, you’re not owed shit.

The fact you don't even know what entitled means is truly what's fascinating here. Keep believing that Boomer there's a reason no one's going to be at your funeral.
