Everyone hates getting taxed, idk how ppl cant come together on taxing the ultrawealthy more so we get taxed less, they just avoid it entirely, idk how mfs still believe in trickle down economics
because I'll be a billionaire one day too. just gotta finish pulling up these bootstraps
collapsed inline media
I'm fine with taxes.
Like, as in the way they are at the exact moment in time of this post?
Taxes are great as a concept but who pays what and when: seems rigged in favor of those who have.
I'm fine with paying taxes, yes.
There would be no incentive to become a billionaire if you have to give away 0.1% of it! It only grows at like 8% a year in the first place! 😭😭😭
You don’t need taxes if the government owned a few key assets that actually generated profit.
The only reason we have taxes is because we decided long ago that only private enterprise should make money.
