Fun fact. Income tax was started after the civil war as a temporary measure to repair infrastructure destroyed during the war. It was supposed to be TEMPORARY, however the government is a fiend hooked on taxes and once they get money they start to rely on it. To this day 95% of imposed taxes have never been overturned.

The simple fact is a sack of cement to fix a crack in a bridge does not cost the same as a sack of cement 50 years ago. Plus 50 years ago, you did not have architects material scientists and structural scientists constantly observing the degredation of our bridges. 50 years ago you did not have the same construction worker saftey requirements you have today. The consultants (architects material scientists and structural scientists), saftey equiptment and inflation on a bag of cemement means that fixing a crack in a bridge is obviosuly oging to cost more today than 50 years ago, thus you should pay more tax than people did 50 years ago. Plus average wages have increased from 50 years ago, so don't act you don't have the extra $23.27 spare. There are dumb taxes that need to be reformed, but this ain't it chief.

[@OathOblivio]

@@davidk4860 No Intuit (aka TurboTax) and other big firms like H&R Block lobby the government to make filing taxes more difficult bc they get more money and business from people trying to file their taxes. The IRS knows how much you owe but makes the taxpayer handle everything. This is ridiculous in this era because our level of tech can make up for what would have required hundreds of accountants to do back in the day, so you'd think we'd modernize this system like the gov't has updated many other administrative things. It's always the lobbies you have to look out for. The government only does what the lobbies want because the US is in so much debt they'll listen to any organization that will pay them large amounts of money. It also helps that bc the lobbyists are in an organized group, they can be much louder in what they want and get a more direct line to our representatives in office compared to the ordinary, unaffiliated person. If the government takes care of filing our taxes for us, major players in the finance and brokerage industries will lose tons of money in the long term. This is why we're are forced to do our taxes. The government isn't guiltless here, but it's not all their fault as you make it out to be. Taxes are essential for a properly functioning society because we must pay the people who protect our rights and give us security from outside forces wanting what we have. This includes the FBI, Military Forces, and infrastructural departments like the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Transportation. But paying taxes doesn't have to be as painful as they make it nowadays.

[@Longlostpuss]

The problem wasn't the lack of paying taxes in principle, it was the lack of an alternative administration and pool of money to subsidise the needs that the taxes were supposed to be satisfying. The tax system in theory isn't a problem, the problem is the amount of taxes in terms of where and how much is being applied and the accountability of where they eventually end up. There is absolutely no doubt money is being put to sleep. There doesn't need to be taxes for nearly everything and the percentages don't need to be anywhere near as high as they are. But a lack of any system for maintaining infrastructure is a recipe for disaster, because then you're relying on the public willingly and consistently contributing unprompted and also managing the infrastructure between them, which, with the neo-consumerism culture the west has perpetuated for decades, we know is never going to happen. It's no different to the charity funding argument.

[@mahmoodali5043]

@@Longlostpuss to be honest bro I have absolutely no idea why people have to do their taxes in the US in the first place. In france, like almost everywhere else on the world, taxes are automatically subtracted from salaries before pay, so when you negotiate a salary you negotiate what you get paid, not what the nominal theoretical value of the contract is. Let the companies pay them taxes, the individuals do not feel cheated out of their money, and it's simpler and better for everyone involved. Taxes in europe are high AF too, but it feels like you do not pay them, the company pays them. You didn't negotiate what the declared taxable income will be, you negotiated what you'll be paid after tax deduction. So it doesn't feel as a hit to the guts. Other taxes like tacing people for the unforgivable sin of dying or of living, is messed up though.

[@Longlostpuss]

@@mahmoodali5043 I disagree, because technically that form of tax is theft. The US system gives the individual an opportunity to pay them or not pay them and get charged, it at least gives a degree of agency and autonomy to one's rights. Same system is in Switzerland I believe. Taking a percentage of your money without your consent is theft. Who has ever really consented to taxes?

I am not american but I am paying property tax on a house that my great grandparents built, basicly with their own hands (working class people at the time). The property it was built on, was paid by them a long damn time ago...so why the hell am I still paying the state for something, that my ancestors paid for fully over a 100 years ago already?

[@HipHopBeatSource]

Too support being ruled over.

[@notursavior1861]

Devil's advocate here: probably because possibly you get street maintenance, water service, garbage collection, etc etc in your area?? Probably... however, property taxes be going UP each year and in some cases are insanely high. I think it's a scam that they go up every year, at least here in the states. Don't know where you are. Property taxes should be capped to something reasonable and nothing more. But I agree with you.

Yes, property taxes are used to fund public infrastructure. I don't know about the US, but in Vietnam, it's really cheap. It depends on your location, and the tax could be anywhere from free to under 0.15% per year or per 5 years.

I doubt there will ever be a "coming together", whether there is a revolution or not. One side tends to live off of the government and will always support a larger governing body. The other side wants to reduce the size of the government significantly.

Oh yeah dont forget the gift tax. Also when the government gives your money to a big pharmaceutical company for "research" and that company turns aroubd and sells its medicine to you at an incredibly upcharged rate.

The game is rigged, true, but you know the only one who acknowledges that they DONT pay any taxes was Donald Trump. He straight up said “I know the game is rigged because I play it, and you play it too,” and they tried to say no, no they’re fair and just and it’s just they need to make more taxes because the TRUE rich people (not them because politicians being rich doesn’t count I guess) need to pay more. Taxes were at their lowest during Trump, and productivity was higher, and that’s all I really need to know.

You should look into how much tax Americans had to pay before the Civil War. It was a fraction of what it is now. Btw, serfdom was implemented in ancient Rome by basically a change to the tax code that caused a whole class of people to be in debt to the government. That serfdom lasted for over 1000 years.
