Our taxes aren’t even that high. Look at what people used to pay up until the 80’s. We should go back to where we actually taxed millionaires and corporations instead of coming up with yet another tax haven account for them. Regular people can’t contribute to these things because they don’t have the disposable income. They are meant for the rich with some bullshit excuse to make us feel good.
Well, I like roads and bridges being fixed, and good reliable weather forecasts, and standardized weights and measures, and a functional department of justice, labor, food and drug safety, standardized phone and Internet protocols so companies can’t completely lock us in their walled gardens, cars that are safe to drive, etc. So I’m happy with the taxes part of that equation
That’s great, have a look at what those things should cost and then look at how the government is mismanaging their funding that we give them
Why even bother with wages, just have the corporations pay the government directly for our work. The government can figure out how to distribute everything and fuck us all

I pay 30% of every dollar I make and I also pay another 18% or so every time I spend a dollar directly to the government.
And the prices of EVERYTHING has Skyrocketed!
