*and actively destroys/dismantles anything one could remotely be proud of having their tax money go to.
I'd gladly fund NASA and scientific research any day of the week, but nooooo gotta feed the poor poor billionaires.
but noooo gotta feed the poor
HUH?!
poor billionaires
Aaaahhhh.
:P
My republican coworkers are complaining about NASA because they always flake when buying our products (we sell electronic stuff to defense related military contractors) because they don't have enough budget.
Fucking idiots don't realize that their political party doesn't even want a NASA
Oh damn, I've never seen this thanks for linking.
Perhaps you would also enjoy Changing Lanes. (Trailer)
I just don't get how this has a 6.5 score, it seems like at least a 7+. But maybe it's the rose tinted glasses, we were kind of spoiled for good movies back in 2002 when it came out, and most of the votes are probably from back then.
One of these things is so outrageously unlike the others that it makes me kinda sus of whoever decided to put them all in the same list
A charitable interpretation of "printing money out of thin air" is how they bail out corporations and landlords. Why even save if the game is so obviously rigged?
They're mad at #2 because #1 gives them all the money they need to do #3. So why do they need my money too?
All USD is printed. Taxes are the only thing that gives USD its value.
I have a problem with the meme playing footsie with the ideas that taxes are theft and money-printing is fraud.
These are common neo-metallist arguments. And in techie spaces like the fediverse, libertarians like to sneak them into the conversation while going “How do you do, fellow progressives?” before they start pitching NFTs.
I don't want to be your buddy, Rick. I just want a little breakfast....
Such a great scene.
"You forgot your briefcase!"
And now your going to die wearing that stupid little hat
If you were part of the billionaire class, you'd be paying less. Sucker.
The world desperately needs more Luigis.
1/3, huh? You must be a high-earning Californian or New Yorker. I don't think anyone else pays that much.
In California as a single person, with only the standard deductions and not deducting anything else (no health insurance or 401k) you would have to make 210k to pay 1/3 of your salary. If you pay $100 a month in health insurance premiums and put 5% into 401k then you have to make over 275k to pay 1/3 of your salary in income tax
I can hear Iron Maiden's 'Man on the Edge' music.
No one in the US pays 30% income tax. Only the top 10% have to pay more than 30%...and they're rich enough to qualify for so many tax breaks at that point, that their effective rate is less than half that.
As a sole proprietor, yes we do.
Then you need to fire your accountant...or start taking their advice. Either way, you're doing it wrong.
Yeah I just checked and I'm looking at around 15-16% adding together federal tax+FICA/FMHI
Trump can basically print infinite amounts of dollars through the federal reserve.
As we all know, conflicts are hella expensive and often decided by who can stay solvent longer. The fact that trump can just print dollars is extremely problematic here.
I guess the necessary course of action would be to bring the dollar's value to zero, and use an alternative currency instead (such as euro, canadian dollar, mexican pesos).
This morning was a wild ride.
Me trying to take a dump
Need an hand to help you back up? You seem to keep falling down.
