      Actually in terms of total government spending, The US military only takes up 16%. It’s actually the most efficient branch of government, building absurd amounts of infrastructure across the world and at home, building floating cities, when our government can’t even fill potholes at home.
      But that’s what we get for wanting our government to do something for us, instead of ourselves.

      This. People don’t realize that high salaried individuals pay damn near 50% of their income to state, local, federal, social security, and Medicare taxes. I personally made 162,000 last year and my wife made 110,000. We will pay about 40% of our income to state local federal and ss/Medicare. We paid like 16k alone to ss/Medicare last year! So yeah next time you get your Medicare help think twice before you start complaining about income equality. This doesn’t even include property taxes !!

      Sean nonyuh I would make the argument that it's the cost of living in a civilised society. A great deal of the time as well, it's just redistributing the wealth that most of us in that tax bracket are actually more born into than anything else. I come from a privileged background where I went to private school and law school, but when I was young my parents were barely making ends meet. The social welfare system saved my mother's life when she had cancer (I live in the U.K., we have NHS), and put food on our table on days where we couldn't afford to eat. Now I'm halfway through law school and, having experienced where those tax payer dollars go and who they help, I am more than happy to start paying my share. That Rich CEO did not NEED that beach house in the Bahamas. I DID need my mother. As do so many other people. It's about recognising the privilege you have in society and paying like everyone else does to be part of a modern and civilised world which (should strive to be) kind.

I mean, think about that for a second. With the same taxes in place now, our debt could go to 0 dollars within as little as 10 - 20 years. Then, nobody making under $100,000 a year would pay taxes. The super rich would pay as little as 10 - 20% tax. Think of all those old cities and businesses that would flourish. Detroit and other bankrupt cities would thrive again

    Building wealth from nothing involves consistent saving, disciplined spending, and strategic investments. Begin by creating a budget to track expenses and identify areas for savings.

    We need to understand there's a difference between tax avoidance and tax evasion. Government allows its citizens to LEGALLY avoid taxes using means like getting credits for donations, offering us tax shelter investment options, and others (we have that in Canada, I think USA's tax system is fairly similar). Tax evasion is different. The government needs to properly REGULATE this process and say: okay, here's what you can do, and here's what you can't do. Using shell companies, running money through Ireland and Netherlands, and utilizing other methods is LEGAL. But if the government doesn't want to allow that anymore, they need to adjust the laws accordingly. Otherwise, this will keep happening.

    CPA here, If anyone is wondering, how can an average person avoid tax through shell companies - you can register a company in the US and British Virgin Islands. After expenses, send the rest of your money from the US to BVI and write it off as expenses in tax returns.
    You don't need this anymore, just buy BTC, USDT or USDC and write the purchase off as an expense.
    Third way could be to register a trust in the US and send up to 60 percent of your AGI to the trust and get a hundred percent write off. Also, spend the donated money through the trust to avoid any tax liability.
    Fourth is buy an apartment with 10 percent down and write the entire amount off through bonus depreciation in one year, repeat every year.

      As an example, suppose you put $100 into a 401 K retirement account. Years later, the $100 has appreciated to $400, and you withdraw all of it from the account. The way the law is, the whole $400 withdrawal is taxed as ordinary income. My point is that if the $300 in appreciation was taxed as long-term capital gains, the $300 would be taxed at a lower rate, and the first $77,000 in long-term capital gains income would be taxed at a rate of 0%.

    • @riadachkar

      Martha B-C, is that so? Why must millionaires pay more than 50% taxes; whereas, others do not? Is it because they’re wealthier? Just because they were smart enough to access all that wealth? Even if some people had the money bequeathed to them, it still does not make sense for them to pay above 50% taxes unlike the rest. Do not think that just because millionaires have more money they should pay more in taxes than the rest. Just like you pay a certain fixed amount, so should they.

The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it."

    US citizens who try to hide their money via shell companies are taking a big risk. The IRS imposes stringent and detailed disclosure requirements on all US citizens who own foreign companies or foreign bank accounts. Merely neglecting to file a form can result in a penalty of $50K or more... even if no tax is owed.

Why should Jeff bezos, a billionaire, be paying no taxes and actually be granted a 4k chd tax credit when the average American is paying 14% of their income in taxes during that same time and struggle to make ends meet?
