most people dont realize you gotta spend money to make money, its not that 30 percent is high , ...it only becomes a high number after all the tools and materials that you have to buy to do the job right!
but an income tax for someone like me around 30 percent is insane if you consider all my expenses i have to literally be a super hero and do manual labors around the clock eating a shit ton of food, i have no choice to be beta and go on vacation

We pay 40% on every pound above 32k earnings, and 45% on anything above 150k
In Sweden anyone earning above 32k gets hit by 50 to 60% tax

Might as well have my employer pay my full salary directly into their account.

true about sweden. I pay 50% on 3/5 of my monthly salary and around 30 % of the rest. Sucks ass to be punished just because you are willing to work hard

You have some nice Jewish leaders over there screwing you all over.

It's annoying, we have Nationa Insurance on top as well which takes away another few %...so all in all its a 50/50 deal. So I basically work for over two weeks every month of my life to pay the government....and they wonder why I have high BP and can't sleep

you gotta be making atleast 68 thousand a year with NO buisness expenses to just stay afloat paying 30 percent income

Try France, people. If you run your own business (which I do), about 70% of what you make will go in taxes.
-
You don't like getting taxed?... just stop working and retire at 45 like me.
It really helps if you don't a wife, a child, a house payment, car payment, etc... Completely ignore societal pressures/stigmas and draw your own lines in the sand.
When you minimize your expenses/debt, you maximize your freedom.

How do you get by then?
The inability to go on holidays abroad kills me...I can do without the cars and expensive shit, but holidays and being far away in the sun is a necessity for me.

It's fucking horrible NYS, especially when you're trying to go to college and pay rent.
-
Is it true your politicians are tax exempt?
Not exactly. But they have special treatments, for example when it comes to retirement pensions. Also their income doesn't take into account the things that are put at their disposal (cars, drivers, travel expenses you don't hear from, apartments, etc...). There's a scandal about it every three months here. Just the tip of the iceberg though

if my tax rate goes up much higher there will be no point in working because the increase in job materials will kill my profit margin
the only way you can be succesful working is if you are with a company where you have next to zero buisness expenses
if someones paying 700 a month rent and 700 for food and car expeses . thats already 350 bucks a week out of your damn pay check lol alot of people dont even bring home a 350 dollar a week pay check, imagine if they had buisness expenses they would be deep in the red, land of the free

You are only paying 30%? I guess you're in the low income bracket if you live in the US. I live in NJ where I pay state income tax too. I also pay 9K for my house taxes. If I buy anything I pay 7% in taxes. Gasoline is taxed at a crazy amount. Then all the people who are rushing to get on disability social security since Obama took office can't understand why workers are getting disgusted. For you liberals who ignorantly think the government money issue can be solved by taxing the rich are misled. There isn't enough rich people to make a dent in the out of control spending that the Republicans want to stop.

Government can keep the peace and fix the roads. After that they need to stfu.

If you are a middle earner then Scandinavian countries are great. If you are a wealth generator / business builder then much less so.

Yes but sometimes when I go to my local Rolex dealer, and he presents me with a GMT II half gold piece for 8k that I came in for and, then shows me a beautiful rose gold Day Date II with a black ceramic dial for 30k and I think to myself I can't afford it cos of all the poor people stealing my pay day, I am subsidising for their lack of drive and ambition in life.

Half the world is working 100x harder just to keep alive in some corrugated tin shack. Do your job and pay your taxes. We have no idea how lucky we are.
Some major BS in this thread too. Deductions are a thing which exist. Also, post your tax thresholds. You understand that not all your income tax is assessed at the top rate, right? :-\

Daddy Waddy: Your grasp of finances is striking. Would you be interested in managing our firm's 401k employee program and portfolio? It pays well and you could better focus your time and efforts on training, the secrets of Nikola Tesla, red clay, magic tofu lower back elixirs and other mysteries of the universe. You have too good a mind to be toiling out in the heat, laboring like a beast of burden.
PM me so I can review and submit your resume for consideration.

What a combo of broke ass crybabies and greedy fuckers over here...
I am in the top tax bracket, live in one of the more expensive states in the country and pay buttloads of capital gains both short and long term. It's a great life and you'll never hear me complain once about it. It's a mistake to look at what you spend it taxes and assume the you could get that extra money if only your taxes were lower. Most of you are too stupid to grasp the concepts behind that fact so I won't bother explaining.

How do you get by then?
The inability to go on holidays abroad kills me...I can do without the cars and expensive shit, but holidays and being far away in the sun is a necessity for me.
Saved 60% of my earnings since I was a teen. I invested at the right time, got out at the right time. I always kept my expenses very low. I was never married and never had kids... those 2 things will literally suck you dry. I've gone on a few vacations here and there, but nothing extravagant or exorbitant. If social security is still around when I become eligible (I'm not counting on it), that will be my fun/play money.
Most people are destined to be serfs and wage/debt slaves. That is one of the main reasons why TPTB are able to maintain control over society.

100% accurate. This is why I didnt bother. Most of the people posting here have no idea what its like to shell out huge amounts of taxes and stay true to their liberal ideals. LOL. I have friends who were liberal minded in college and once they started making money in their career and paying serious taxes, they quickly converted to conservative / Republican ideals when it came to fiscal issues and ideology. They simply didn't like paying taxes to perceived "freeloaders of society." You can NOT let your self interest / self preservation (i.e. your own pocket book) guide your ideology when it comes to the good of a nation and the good of the people as a whole. That is a fundamental problem with out country today. You may be at the top of the pile and pay tons in taxes, but relatively speaking, the others still live like dogs in comparison to someone at the top. Whining about how much you pay in taxes is fucking ridiculous. Nobody likes taxes but they are a necessarily reality in an advanced society. The strong carry the weak in ANY modern civilized republic. This is the way it has worked since Rome. You just have to decide which one you are? The strong carrying society, or the weak, whiner on the sideline crying about the "system."

It's only 30% if you don't take all your write offs. All your expenses should be written off.

Did you know that Rome collapsed due to economic woes, military overspending and political instability?
If you don't know much about history don't pluck names out of the air to strengthen your weak argument via collapse economies.
The overly generous welfare system has created a class of "can't be bothered to do shit" fact, this is what the tax payer moans about.

If the current tax system is "necessary to sustain civilization" then I'd like to redefine the concept of "civilization".
If having freeloaders on one corner, corporate welfare on the other, and an out of control Military Industrial Complex sucking up the rest of the tax pool is the definition of civilization I'd rather let it crumble.

You and me brutha......I'm sure I'm funding a lot of "baby mommas" and Obama-blind "Occupy Wall Streeters" with my taxes.

The politician who promises the most free stuff to the masses gets elected. When the scale tips and 51% of the people are being supported by the 49% of the Federal tax payers, democracy as we know it is but history. It was a "grand experiment" anyway. We are heading towards an Oligarchy headed by socialists in bed with corporatist/miltary complexers.

The same issues that plagued Rome plague us now. I think this empire will someday fall as well. Its all cyclical.

The current system is definitely flawed and rotten from the core. I don't deny that. My only point is very simple. In any complex society/civilization, the strong will always end up supporting the weak. You're not escaping that. You just have to decide which side you want to be on. On top of the pile, paying high taxes, or a bottom feeder whining about the system and your lot in life. Are you a wolf or a lamb?

Falcon would have to make ~$494K in regular income to have an effective income tax rate of 30%, assuming he took the standard deduction/exemption.
I'll let others decide whether he is really making this much, or if his absolutely addled brain is causing him to spout nigh incoherent twaddle yet again. ::)

We pay +50% here when you count in the "universal social charge" and all the other horse cock they add on top of income tax. The funny thing is that the highest tax band kicks in at under €40k/year. All to pay Germany. I hate this country at times.

He has explicitly labeled the tax an 'income tax' in both the title of the thread and the OP. But we can use the principle of charity to reformulate his statement into something sensible, as you have done.
If we add in North Carolina income tax, he'd still have to make ~$250K to have an effective income tax rate of 30%. I'm too dumb to calculate an effective rate with any more types of tax added, so will leave it at that.

Again, a tax consultant would help you maximize your business expense deductions. My dad was self employed, made good money and paid very little income tax. You must be doing something wrong, "Marty" which rimes with smarty you know.

Agreed, sometime he does seem addle brained although he cannot use the excuse that he is old, like I can when I say something stupid.

You do realize that this chart refers to taxable income, meaning your net income after you take out all your deductions and credits and not your gross income?

no shit i already talked about the cost of building supplies, they still fucking kill profit even being deducted while paying 30 percent thats insane

Perhaps you aren't charging enough for your services then. I don't understand your equation. You say your spending your profits on supplies. Your profit is your net income less the cost of supplies. You should only be paying taxes on your net income. No profit = no income = no taxes.
-
to be fair NC has sales tax up to 7.5% right? So on top of gas tax and all the other money you give to support welfare bums, illegals, DMV workers pensions and bombing brown people it comes up to about 30% at least.

Great article! Unfortunately, many folks will ignore these facts because they don't further their argument about taxes. Since the beginning of time (tax time) folks have been complaining and sometimes rebelling against taxes. I hate paying taxes. What I hate more is reading that the U.S. has the worst/least maternity leave of any developed country, or that our healthcare system is subpar as compared to most other countries in the world. I guess it stands to reason, the U.S. was settled by people (our forefathers) who were rebelling against high taxes....and other things.

Stop paying taxes. ALL TAX MONEY GOES TO HOOKERS AND BLOW FOR BARRACK AND CHENEY.
Oh right! ::)

Ok a few other fat fuck politicians get hookers and blow also.
And to think I passed on an opportunity to go into politics. Perhaps I should rethink this decision.

Yes we can .He chokes and sneezes at the same time, it is so funny and ends up with snot all over his hands.
He thinks well could be worse, and he laughs again
To keep BB related.
.
If Obama had a son who Bodybuild's he would be exactly like Phil Heath.

Half the world is working 100x harder just to keep alive in some corrugated tin shack. Do your job and pay your taxes. We have no idea how lucky we are.
Some major BS in this thread too. Deductions are a thing which exist. Also, post your tax thresholds. You understand that not all your income tax is assessed at the top rate, right? :-\
As if Falconne isn't working 4/5 jobs taco style.
What do you mean by this?

Its 32 grand now? Fuck when did it drop from 42?
The eye roll was for the tax man not you.
But yes, they'll tell us all they've given us a tax break, in reality they will be making more money by lowering the 40% threshold from 33.2 to over 32...
Tony Blair paid 3% overall on the pile of millions he made (I believe over 30mil In one year) the Barclay brothers owners of the Ritz, have paid zero tax in the last god knows how many years via holding companies in the BVI's...etc.
So all in all, it comes to this...the lazy/can't be bothered to work/stitch the benefits systems wins, the elite wealthy wins and the hard working everyday Joe is hammered.

PAYING TAXES = SLAVERY.
They take from your labor without having the right to do so.
Money for roads and shit you say? Most of the companies doing those kind of shits are private anyway.
Bottom line is = taxes = slavery.
Those who have the most money pay zero taxes.
Stop paying your taxes. It's ghey.
The system is never going to be changed until the elements in it get smarter.

What a combo of broke ass crybabies and greedy fuckers over here...
I am in the top tax bracket, live in one of the more expensive states in the country and pay buttloads of capital gains both short and long term. It's a great life and you'll never hear me complain once about it. It's a mistake to look at what you spend it taxes and assume the you could get that extra money if only your taxes were lower. Most of you are too stupid to grasp the concepts behind that fact so I won't bother explaining.
You are nothing more than one happy slave who loves his slavery. Enjoy guy but u can't change it - slave.

Which definition of slave are you using?

What do you mean by this?
The majority of his income is undeclared so I don't know what he griping about.

Clearly this is a choice one could make. Some folks take it a step further, they make so little money they actually qualify for public assistance, which is funded by, what else, other people's taxes. There are the have's and the have not's. There are the giver's and the taker's. Some people consciously chose the role they play, other folks inherit it.

...and the biggest TAKERS all live in a revolving door between the government and corporate world.

If you want a decent life you have to work for the luxuries, I see my taxes funding fat fucks who have generations within families who never work, father to son and onwards.
Its the way of a civilised society, I could go and live in some back of beyond third world shit hole to avoid tax, but..you see where I'm going with it.

It comforts me to know that people on the dole are not happy people, despite appearances to the contrary.

A lot of my workmates grumble about dole dwellers when they look at their payslips and the amount of tax paid. I say let them be, their choice to live on benefits means they will get nowhere in life and have fuck all to leave to their kids and leaves the few available jobs for the people that actually want them.

I have long religiously maxed out all tax-advantaged retirement plans I have been eligible to participate in each year when I have been eligible for each type of plan or combination of plans - 401k, IRA, SEP.
I gladly pay a CPA a few bucks to do my taxes, and write off anything I possibly can. If there is an issue with deductions or anything else according to the crooks at the IRS, the CPA deals with it - not me.
I also have a chunk of money in a tax deferred variable annuity that I contribute a few bucks to each year, and generally keep at least a little in tax-free muni bonds. I will put more into munis when I retire and need the income, and will start to draw on the annuity and the retirement accounts in about 15 years.
If you have a Roth 401k option (after-tax dollars) at work, contribute to that. And if your household income is below the income limit for a Roth IRA, do this also.
Otherwise, the tax-deferred traditional 401k and IRA are also good for at least putting the taxes off and lowering your current taxable income level. And when you start paying taxes on those tax-deferred accounts after retirement, your overall taxable income may be lower than it was when you were working, perhaps putting you into a lower tax bracket.

There are laws which allow the government to collect taxes, you thick twat.
How is a government supposed to be financed in your world?

Brought to you by Fox News ::)

You are claiming all of those things on your taxes right? (Tools and what not)

Oh so you think until it does crumble. At that point, you'll be whining about government not doing anything.
Not a chance. I'll enjoy Jefferson's 'dangerous freedom'.
"Societies exist under three forms sufficiently distinguishable. 1. Without government, as among our Indians. 2. Under governments wherein the will of every one has a just influence, as is the case in England in a slight degree, and in our states in a great one. 3. Under governments of force: as is the case in all other monarchies and in most of the other republics. To have an idea of the curse of existence under these last, they must be seen. It is a government of wolves over sheep. It is a problem, not clear in my mind, that the 1st. condition is not the best. But I believe it to be inconsistent with any great degree of population. The second state has a great deal of good in it. The mass of mankind under that enjoys a precious degree of liberty and happiness. It has it's evils too: the principal of which is the turbulence to which it is subject. But weigh this against the oppressions of monarchy, and it becomes nothing.
Even this evil is productive of good. It prevents the degeneracy of government, and nourishes a general attention to the public affairs. I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical." - Jefferson to James Madison, January 30, 1787
