No matter where you place the jump in taxes, that place becomes a barier, that makes earning below and above it the same, when it comes to the living standart.

So, it starts killing off the middle class, because it doesn't matter if they earn 30 percent more with tax, or 30 percent less without it.

Same goes for handouts, child support etc... If more work means loosing the benefit, then you will find a way to stay below the line.

Exactly the point of this poll.

Commies have no idea about the actual value of money.

"Welcome to Auschwitz, dear visitors. Get ready for an exciting visit to the fake gas chambers, the fake chimney, the fake holes in the roof, the glorious wooden door! No, I don't work here. I'm doing this pro-bono. You're welcome, Mr Shmuly Bergblaistein"

Sad thing is though, that although I am a strong supporter of (facts don't care about your feelings), it's pointless because leftist feelings don't care about facts :tanya_really:

Would you spend 1 year in solitary confinement for a payout of $350 000?

>Lolberts just like to pick apart any argument until bulletproof ideas and, just as importantly, expressions of those ideas remain.

My autism doesn't help with this either :tanya_yes:

Well, yeah, my example used a flat tax, but even if you increase the middle class tax to 30 percent, it does not hurt the middle class that much, and it still fucks the lower class completelly.

@Mek101 @LukeAlmighty i have lived in a high inflationary environment all my life and it is much worse than people imagine. Not only it reduces your purchasing power of your existing savings, you enter a higher salary bracket meaning higher taxes which were meant for the rich but now apply to the poor as well. You have to buy the same goods at a much higher price meaning higher sales taxes. Your home becomes worth a lot more fiat meaning higher property taxes. Stock market goes way up and so do the taxes on the gains. At the end you loose on income, loose on savings, loose on investments, loose on expenses. There is just no way out.

Gold standard kept this under control as the annual inflation would be approx 2% max in line with gold's stock to flow.

@numi /translate --cs Čo si to o mne povedal, ty chuj? Dostal som červený diplom na Akadémii ozbrojených síl generála Milana Rastislava Štefánika, odhalil som viacero tunelov z Ukrajiny a zhabal som vyše 300 kartónov cigariet. Som vycvičený na boj v presile a bol som viacerými sabinovskými periodikami zvolený za najväčieho čáva z celého ministerstva vnútra. Prešacujem ťa s precíznosťou ešte nevídanou, zapíš si to za uši. Tak ty budeš na mňa kydať cez medzisieť? Uvedom si dôsledky svojho správania, ty kokot. Už volám bratrancovi v NBÚ, tak radšej povedz starej materi v Dunasérde, nech narobí halásle. Už sa ani nemusíš pokúšať za ňu zas voliť Bugára, marha. Si kurva mŕtvy, chlapče. Za štyri hodiny som v Nitre, a stadiaľ ma SADka zavezie kam chcem. Mám známosti všade, okrem Ministerstva hospodárstva. Nielenže mám ujca na pošte, ale mám prístup ku všetkým tým sračkám, ktoré sme Ukrajincom zabavili. Nebojím sa ti to podstrčiť, zašľapím ťa jak takého červa, to je všetko, hej kamaráde. Keby si len tušil, čo dokáže jedna poznámočka spôsobiť, možno by si bol čušal jak voš pod chrastou. Ale ty nie, tak si to vyžerieš, ty pičus. Zbiješ sa jak Hedviga a budeš prosíkať o ďalší Trianon. Si kurva mŕtve, decko.
