when the government takes 30% of your salary elsewhere in the world: "give us it back in the form of social services and aid for the working class"
when the government takes 30% of your salary in the us: "oh sorry mr government keep giving more to ukraine and raytheon, i didn't mean to upset you i dont expect anything in return i am pulling myself up by my bootstrapts by working for 7.5/hr at mcdonalds for 80 hours a week, hike my taxes and cut taxes for the rich, mr bezos deserves an extra 5 trillion dollars he works so hard"
Average US Citizen pays 6 gorillion a year in taxes, meanwhile rich people pay nothing via billions of loopholes such as "donating". The only reason they donate is to get tax cuts.
I live in MN and I'm considering moving out of here because we get raped in income tax, it's thievery. We're one of the only states where we give more to the government in taxes than the government gives back to us. The only thing we have to show for ourselves is being a large Somalian community.
You know what's interesting is that speaking to people from Latin America like Colombia, Peru, Brazil, etc, it's very hard for these people to gain access to the USA. Even just to visit the USA they need some special VISA that takes months/years to gain access to. Why? It pisses me off because my girlfriend who is from Peru wants to visit/move to the USA, and even with a college degree she said it's nigh impossible to come here. Meanwhile, just in my state alone there's many people from other cultures like the Asias/middle east, and as far as I know it was comparatively much easier for these people to enter the USA. Is there some specific law that just makes it hard to come here specifically for Latin folks or?
Most Latin folks in my age group that I've met here are only here because they're apart of some autistic program where they have to live with a USA citizen's family and basically be a babysitter for the family. And even as a part of this program, they have very little control over where in the USA they go. And if they don't like the family they're living with? Get sent to some other random family god knows where in the USA, or get sent back to your country. Forget what the program is called, but yeah its bullstuff.
