Based Bagel's common sense Tax Code:

1. Flat 10% Federal tax Simple > Complex "fairness"

2. NO fancy deductions or Credits

3. Employers work with IRS to do employees taxes EU style. 🖕 Tax software

When it comes to business taxes I'm open to suggestions as there are some good reasons that justify more complexity.

Everyone wants to simplify the tax code by removing OTHER people's deductions but don't you DARE touch the ̶w̶e̶l̶f̶a̶r̶e̶ ̶deductions they use.

One thing that triggers me to no end is the gaslighting the poor/ working class, rich people do to people like me in upper middle class.

Me: The US Gov uses the tax code as a social welfare system for the middle class and working class. Each credit adds pages to the tax code.

Dumbass: Well its not welfare because xyz tax credit I get is needed because its expensive and budgeting/working 2 jobs is hard.

Bunch of morons! 😡

Ok i'm done ranting now.

I'm gonna go setup an appointment with my accountant now and just close my eyes and go to my happy place as the IRS shakes me down while providing little value in my life.

Not to mention the 30% they'll take from my business they did SWEET FUCK ALL to start or promote.

5/5

It blows my mind that only libertarians get that setting up a system to hook up the people the gov likes will be used against you if you ever lose power.

Notice how the tea party conveniently got audited every year since they were critical of the POTUS?

Nonsensical systems like this are yet another reason why I'm leaving the U.S.

I'm not a tax dodger but I'm not giving up 30% of my income to a satanic system using soft power to fuck with people and help ungrateful obese commies.

4/5

There should be a flat tax of 10-15% and to hell with all these funky deductions.

You get a tax credit for owning a home, having kids, medical expenses and being married because that's what the gov wants you to do.

Are you a single healthy guy with no kids or house? GET FUCKED and pay up buddy because you're on the gov's naughty list.

It's not fair that I have to pay more taxes for the same shit that married people get.

3/idk yet I'm still angry

Who the FUCK is going to sell their house and be homeless/downsize to pay for 1 kids tuition?

If the house you own is the house you live in then its NOT an asset because you can't sell it without a serious lifestyle hit.

Now with taxes the bottom 10% don't pay taxes and the top 10% can hire accountants that worked with the IRS that know all the loopholes to lower their tax burden. 2/?

The rest of us? GET FUCKED IN THE ASS!

My biz isn't complex enough to warrant any deductions so I'm SOL.

My beef with taxes is the same as my beef with FAFSA when I was in UNI.

If you're at the top or bottom 10% of income earners you're good.

Anyone in between gets fucked in the ass.

Ex. At my UNI if you make below a certain threshold you can get a grant to go to school for free.

If you're rich you just cut thc check for tuition.

If you're middle class you get FUCKED IN THE ASS

I even had some bonehead tell me that my parents own a house so I don't qualify for any aid $$... 1/?

TIL in Europe your employer works with the tax office to determine exactly how much you owe and all you have to do is make slight corrections as necessary.

Meanwhile in the U.S. we have people like Turbotax that lobby to keep the tax code as complex as possible.

How to watch cowboy bebop.:

1. Be self employed (Trust me it hits different this way)

2. Watch the last 5 episodes

3. Watch some YT clips of the fight scenes

Done!

Now you're free to watch the greatness that is Samurai Champloo!

There's alot of shit I dealt with as a kid that I realized wasn't normal.

Problem is I can't tell what was actually abusive and what is new age bitchmade parenting tactics made up by sociologists to justify their jobs.

So since I'm doing fine I'm just going to move forward.

I just got roasted by everyone I told about this so please vote.

Is it gay for a single guy to have a minivan?

I'm convinced the tax code was designed to to keep accountants paid well and let government can punish anyone they don't like.

No other reason explains the needless complexity.

@Tfmonkey A while ago when you recommended you hire an accountant because I thought for sure your tax burden was too high...

Well I just calculated my expected tax burden for my business.... I sincerely apologize.

Some systems are so fucked you can't properly understand it until you participate in it.

Keep in mind this is the same guy who believes Jan 6th was an insurrection and that the jab was a net benefit to humanity.

The gaslighting becoming less effective. There is hope.
